Digital Package - CD Cover Analysis (Kiss)

Kiss

Destroyer

The album ‘Destroyer’ has unique but fitting art work to the style of the band. In this image they have chosen to be animated to get across a marvel comic book super hero theme relating to their characteristic costumes. They have chosen this particular pose on top of a hill in the sky to show that they are on top of the world and in control. This is because their lifestyle consists of having sex, being in a rock band and having everyone love you (the ultimate lifestyle a stereotypical man can get).

Creatures of the Night

‘Creatures of the night’ this album cover shows the band members in 3 colours, blue, black, and white. All the colours are dark relating to the title ‘Creatures of the Night’. They are also made to look like creatures with their eyes. They’ve been given cats eyes in this picture along with their face paint to make them look like mysterious animals. The mysteriousness of the artwork can also be related back to the costumes they wear. The superhero, masked man costumes comes across mysterious to the audience.

Both of these cover art relate directly to the band itself. This isn't what we will be doing for ours. As the idea of our band is based around a couple of friends who aren't big, popular, or have a lot of money so the album art work will probably be a picture of the band or something in the pop art style. We will do this as we can't really relate to the band in the ways 'Kiss' can because no-one knows who our band is as this would be the first album we (the band) have produced.
