Reference to the album title which is “ill keep calling”

Bushy beard that the trucker has, a lot of truckers seem to have these types of beards and westerns as well.

Phone may have been slung down in anger because the name of the album is “I’ll keep calling and the person isnt answering.

Track list

Colours associated with Country music

Symbolises the type of music as being country because of the cow.

Inside Front CoverTop of trucks, going back to reference of truckers.

At the top you have the members of the band and what their role was as well as a thank you and all of the people that was involved.

The same colour scheme

Front CoverDark Background, noticed a lot with this genre of music. Also the images used have nothing to do with the actual Album name or the band which is also noticed a lot with this genre.

Typical conventions of a front cover, the album name, the band and the image on the front.

Back Cover

Same colour scheme used.

Back cover seems to not look enticing with the black and white colour scheme.

Barcode

Page 10: Research Into Album Covers

Inside Front CoverThe inside front cover is quite plain and boring with just an image.

Page 11: Research Into Album Covers

Inside Back CoverThe inside back cover is the same as the inside front in terms of not much going on, this is reasonable because the CD will be in the way of it.

Front CoverThe colours used in the image are seen to be quite dull, the front cover also shows a human arm lying on a log, this could suggest that the person may have been killed and left in the woods possibly. This can also be a reference to the bands name which is the Killers.

Album name and Bands name.

Different fonts have been used and colours.

Page 14: Research Into Album Covers

Back CoverSimilar colour scheme being used and the background seems to be a wooden floor which is reference to the album because wood has been known for sawdust.

Barcode

Track list in in an usual colour and looks quite odd.

Record Label

Inside Front Cover

Similar image that has been used for the front cover and is just an image.

Wouldn’t appeal to the audience.

Page 16: Research Into Album Covers

Inside Back Cover

The inside back cover is plain and simple, this is because the audience will just want the CD so they haven't wasted time

The same style has been used throughout.

Imagine Dragons Night Visions Front Cover

The front cover has the typical conventions of having the band name and the title of the album as well as the image that has been used as well.

The image also relates to the album because it can be seen that someone is having their own night visions.

Page 18: Research Into Album Covers

Inside Front and Inside Back Cover

The inside front cover and inside back cover is one image joined together and it is of the 4 band members, the audience will quite like the cover because of the image used is really good. It is also going with the conventions of having an image as well but they have got it on 2 different panels.

Page 19: Research Into Album Covers

Back CoverThe back cover of the album is quite dull and boring because there is no image that has been used, instead it is a dark background.

The barcode is in the bottom right of the album and on albums it is known to be at the bottom. The track list is also on the back cover and is in the usual position as most albums would have it as well.
