Album Cover Examples..

This is an example of an album cover by the band The Blackout. This is very specific to the band as it is a "concept" album which usually has a story to it or has something specific to the band. This seems to be a particular brand as it is obvious just by looking at the album cover what mood the music will have to it, and to which genre it will belong to. The dark colouring used shows that the album has a dark mood and a perhaps heavy metal influence genre.

However, brands differ also. This album cover from Linkin Park's Minutes To Midnight shows a more serious "only about the music" band. This shows that the song

s on it are not based

on a story but maybe about real life situations. It is obvious from looking at both albums covers that Linkin Park are a much bigger band which

would play a lot of stadiums and have high

budgets, given by a major record label such as Warner Bros. This is obvious because it is in simple and in black and white, meaning that the bands purpose is just black and white, which is to play good

music.
