CD cover Evaluation - Temper Trap

When we were trying to come up with ideas for our CD cover, we looked at past students work and compared with the mark scheme to see their ideas and how they were graded on their work. There is a mixture of top band work along with some lower graded work.

Here is the front and back cover of a Temper Trap cover, they were given top marks for their cover.

Front

 Inside

When looking at this CD cover, you could tell that they were given top marks. One the front cover the use of putting a image of the band within the frame is a very clever technique to use along with the corresponding fame turned round which could represent the "lost" part of the title. Also the colours and the font fits in with the conventions of the artist and goes with the criteria.

On the inside of the cover, the use of different images put in frames is quite clever and fits in with the frame and image idea on the front and fits in well with the website as a whole package between the 3 products: music video, CD and the website. Also the use of the blacking out of imagery shows the use of editing and lighting on the black silhouette is effective and gives the impression of those old blacked out portraits that people use to have. It fits in with their style and shows quality.
