Album Covers of similar genres

We created a mood board showing the album covers of different bands of a similar genre to ours so that we could gather idea’s about typical conventions of album covers.


We noticed that many of the images on the covers are edited to black and white or the colour is contrasted or changed in some way to give it a more interesting and unique look. The majority of the album covers have either the band as a key feature or another model that represents the band as a genre.

Most of the album covers on this mood board are from British bands and this stereotypical ‘Britishness’ is presented through the images used. For example on the album cover of the kooks the key feature is the union jack in the image, therefore the majority of their target audience would be British.
