CD Cover Analysis (band image)

Here is a 'greatest hits' album by Delirious, a Christian rock band. By showing all the band members but only presenting them as sillouettes  is very effective because for consumers, this denotes as not needing to pay attention to the band members themselves and the image they potray, but in fact the main objective of their music: praise and worship. In addition, the simple colour palette of black, white and light green stripes, with a tribal design and their quirky recognised house font at the top left cornor with their band name Delirious,  gives the CD album an edgy style which will attract young consumers , (who are their initial target audience) to buy product.


Moreover, only seeing the band members and their surroundings in shadow also shows the genre of the music... rock because by presenting a drum kit, guitars and a mike stand, these instruments are in the production and creation of rock music. And for consumers who are not familiar with their music or purpose of music, may be drawn to their genre of the music and purchase it.

By looking at this CD cover it gives me an idea of the possible genre I could present through my music magazine or potray an "image" on the front cover that wont be explicitly "Christian" therefore, my music magazine could have a larger young audience because it wont entirely bepresemted  as a religious one music magazine but a young, edgy music magazine with faith added into the eqaution.
