Analysis of conventions of album covers in rock(Album Cover 1)

The Fangclub is the rock band I am going the analyse, because the band is not very famous, and it is a relatively new band that still need to out a lot of concentration on promoting their artist image. Also, they are organic musicians, these points are similar to our band, so it is a good example to analyse.


The album cover include :
1. the name of the band/logo
2. Title of the album
3.The Record label

Generally, the basic and most crucial information have to be show on the album cover, and the style of the design should fit the genre of the band and the soundtracks in the album. For instance, the album cover of the Fangclub used a combination of red and black with complicated patterns, which created a sense of bloody and mysterious. The design is not simple, and red* is a typical colour that attract attention visually. The image of the three members are shown on the bottom of the cover, which have interesting design on the figure, there are white lines and scratches on the picture,that make it like a collages artworks, which is very cool. 

Red*
“Modulation of the lateralized components revealed that the color red captured and later held the attention in both positive and negative conditions.”
However, the names of the artists are not on the cover, which is a limitation that, audiences who are not familiar with them might be difficult the know about them.
