This cover takes an artistic approach on the cover, taking the album art style (To The Five Boroughs) as reference. The cover is bright and uses rather garish colours that catch the eye. In the sky, there are a series of analogue waves that represent the music and the glow from the sun. The cover has a shot of Manhattan, which is the hometown of the group. the image also links in with the title of the single 'An Open Letter To NYC'
I like this cover as it s very 80's design, using bright colours and geometric shapes, similar to the design below. I think I'll incorporate some of the elements from this design into my product.
I like this pattern because of it's classic 80's geometric design. The colour scheme is bold, and it grabs your attention from a distance. I feel like I could incorporate this style of design into my ancillary text. This is because it fits in with the style of when the song was originally released in the mid 80's.
I like the 'Intergalactic' cover because it does not have the group feature anywhere on the cover. Instead, opts for an abstract piece that takes on the style of a comic book. However, I feel that the artist's identity needs to be established on the cover in order for the text to be identified in the hip-hop genre.
These Single covers demonstrate the kind of playful nature I wish to create with my ancillary texts. I need to make use of bright colours, bold, striking fonts and a creative use of imagery. I especially like the bottom cover as it truly captures the childish nature of the group, while maintaining a bold, smart design.
I think that I will use the bottom design to come up with the initial format of my text.
