The Specials are an English 2 Tons Ska band formed in 1977 in covenrty. This is a very sereotypical cover for a Ska band. This is because it has everything that is asociated with the Ska genre, such as a man in a trilbe wearing a plain black suit with a black skinny tie, it also has the black and white checks across the bottom of the cover, and finally the cover has only black and white on it.

Front cover developments

In recent developments i have decided to abandon the idea of spliting the cover into four sections, this is because after looking at other ska bands album covers none of them have front covers that have been spit into sections. It has become apparent to me that this idea does not fit in with the Ska genre. Instead i will be having a picture of the band all together in an urban location, which fits with the Ska genre. I will experiment with the backround to make the image most effective.

Blur Cover

This is an album cover for the band "Blur" who are an english alternative rock band from London. Like the previous post this cover had been slpit into sections but this time it isnt the band members its some black and white cartoons each with a different coloured back round to represent each of the characters personalities. My original ideas are to split the cover up into four sections with each section ahving a member of the band in and they will be posing in a way wich they think shows their personality to the audience.

Sum 41 cover idea

This is the cover of the album "All Killer No Thriller" by Sum 41, Sum 41 are a punk rock band who are renown for their happy go lucky attitude towards music. This cover shows the audience the band playful side, this is done by putting close up pictures of band using a fast shutter speed to capture the band distorted faces as the shake their heads about giving the crazy facial expressions. This album cover gave me the idea to split my single cover up and show a part of each of the band members personlitys by getting them to pose in a mid shot so that they can show what they are realy like.
