Colour
The colour of the cover is very basic and is mostly the same colour apart from the heart which is a very bright red this is because the attention is supposed to be drawn to the heart. It stands out on the page. Once the viewer reads it they automatically look below it and read the band name, making them want to listen to the CD.
Text
The text of the cover is quite varied for example the band name is very bold and looks almost hand written this is because it gives the audience a personal touch and relates to them by writing how people at home would which makes the audience want to pick it up and listen to it. The text underneath which is the album name is a lot smaller and thinner. The writing is a lot more neater and has lost the personal touch this could be to show the audience that they are professional as well which is reassurance for the audience that the music is good.
Layout
The layout of this cover is very clever because they may have put a picture in the cover but they put it in the back out of focus. On the other hand the main part of the picture and the band name have been put solidly in the middle. The title and the photo are the things that first catch your eye and the other part of the picture have been put in to make the album not look boring when the audience take a proper look at it. This is a very good idea to catch people’s attention and keep it.
Picture
The picture in this album is quite twisted the tree itself is quite creepy and dark and it just does not look friendly. On the other hand the heart is bright and loving and draws you into it and suggests love but the fact that the heart is hanging itself is quite twisted because of how loving the heart looks. An album cover with a mixed message like this makes people want to listen to it and see what the music is about which I think is a very good idea.
