Cd Analysis of genre

damien-rice-cannonball-292244.jpg (358×304)
This Cd cover of Damien Rice's cannonball is a simple yet effect cover as through a number of Damien Rice's Cd's we see a theme of animals being used this presenting a message between them. There are two uses of colour only Brown and White, one being a pure clean colour another presenting  dirt and blandness. We see these colours then making the Cd cover recognizable due to this in effect bought by thousands. As well as this the genre generically seen are ones with simple covers where you can establish the artist and you are able to sell their music.  Typography here is jagged and small not taking the focus away from the rest of the cover but still easy to see.

The typography is in white and in a strange font to get people's attention it also fits in with the rest of the Cd cover. The cover is in black and white and grey with a tinge of blue making it a finished looking Cd cover. Other covers by this artist also like Damien Rice's present an animal but also images of himself in different settings.
