The N.W.A is an American hip-hop group from America in their
late 80’s. This cover includes the group staring down at the viewer with a gun
pointed straight at them. This gives the initial feel of gang’s in the 1980’s
and who their music is aimed at which is teenagers who familiarize with the
groups age too. The cover title is red which could symbolise the threat they
pose towards the viewer. The white text is very jagged and has a rough
appearance which looks like scruffy handwriting which could link to the group’s
gang with little education and writing skills so they become similar to the
viewers by having similar handwriting to them.
Pendulum
is an Australian/British group who make electric/drum and bass music and formed
in 2002. Their alum ‘In Silico’ is effective as an album cover because it
adheres the colours of album cover with red, yellow, blue and green which
really stand out towards the audience in its circle shape. The imagery behind
this cover appears to be a baby in the centre surrounded by the egg in an
electronic form. This is very different from other album covers as the audience
can’t see the band members and the cover is the opposite of minimalistic with a
lot of different things going on in the background.
The
prodigy is an English electronic dance group. The Prodigy used this effective
album cover because it represents their music very well. This follows the conventions
of the band as the face symbolises a metallic howl of the singer and it is made
of electronic/metal linking to the genre of music to create. It breaks the
conventions of a typical album cover with its lack of colours and imagery and
describes who it is aimed at on the cover. The text is black and white and
stands out very boldly in a curved shape. This adheres what the Prodigy are
aiming for which is confusion and boldness which is the face on the cover.
