Best and worst album covers - Jessica Daykin

I thought that this was the best album cover because the way in which they used two guns and place them together it makes it look like a creature or the devil, as the albums title is called. The font size they used it doesn’t take up all the focus of the image as it is just clearly labelled at the top of the image, with the album title in a larger font than the band name. The background colouring works well with the black, rusting guns as the mustard/yellow makes the image stand out more. Also the background colour is not just one solid colour, there is also other elements such as water stains, different markings, which makes it seem as though the background was hand made and they late placed the image of the gun on top of the background.

 I chose this album cover as being the worst because it is very simplistic. It is easy to tell that the photograph of the people was taken separately to the background, due to the background looking unrealistic. The fact that they are all posed and not even looking at the camera gives the overall cover a unnatural feel to it. Also the use of a plain font does not grab a consumers attention because it is a simple font.
