Research planning: CD cover design

Florence and the Machine
The front cover and the back cover of the CD have both got the same colour theme of being black as the background with white font, this creates a bold and eye catching image for the audience visually.
As you can see florence is in a noncomformist outfit on the front cover, which seem to be a kind of mixed earthy colours and shabby giving the "dog" style effect, linking with the song title, as its animalistic. This is her way of approaching a unique audience, also the outfit can seem attractive to the eye as its unsual. The pose of Florence is also very outstanding and strange which attracts her unique auidence to look at her CD cover.
On the cover "Florence and the Machine" has been written in a particular font, which as you can see is simple but slightly swirly in white font, making it vibrant on the cover. The reason for the particular font is for her fans to identify her easily and quickly when looking for her CD's, it also signifies herself, as it's part of her own brand.

Eminem

On Eminems recovery album he has linked the idea of "Recovery" on his albums as he uses this white cross on a red circle giving identification of a hospital or medical indecation.
Both the front and back cover have tall tower blocked buildings, thyis fits in with his urban theme that Eninem has created. The Glass box with a TV and sofa with Eminem on the sofa indecates what his music is going top be about, as it's about his life and how he feels isolated from the world and his struggle through his drug abuse stage.

The way in which Eminem is dressed on the front and back cover, is very urban styled, with casual trainers, jeans and a trackie type jacket, with keeps to his regular imagery of his gangster and urban dress sense. This makes things easier for his audience to recogonise him not only through his label but his style.
On the back cover the track numbers are in red and the track names are in white, this keeps to the theme of the "Recovery" cross design he uses on the front and as the CD design.
Eminem has created a Logo brand for his name, which is havaing a backwards "E" on the second "E" in his name, this makes it eaiser for his audience to identify his music in music stores and also to identify him as a person and artist.

Rihanna

Rihanna's cover for her single "Don't stop the music" has a sophiscated and mature cover to single, having a purpley grey colour fading to black.

Rihanna has been positioned posing on the front cover in a white classy dressing, making herself outstand from the dark background. The way in which she has been positioned is suggesting she has abit of attitude in a mature mannor. Her air placed over her face shows the mysteriousness of Rihanna and how not alot of poeple know about her, but her music only.

The way in which Rihannas name has been written was her branding of her name at that time, whereas it has changed to a different more edge one now.

The Name of the song title has been written in a plain simple font in white linking Rihannas colour of clothing with the title, signifying a sense of sophisicated song has been produced by Rihanna.

The CD print has been set the same as the cover without Rihanna posing and the label printed on small on the disc showing what company she recorded with, it is their way of promoting the record label. Rihannas name brand has been featured on the disc identifying that the CD has got her song on it.

The back of the CD cover has the brand and song title just like on the front and disc cover. On the back there is the songs which is featured on the disc, and the name of the remix.

there is in small print in white about the record labels names.

The recored label logos feature at the left hand bottom corner of the back cover shwoing where she recored her song.
