Research into Album Artwork

Kids From The Summer are a Pop Punk band so to come up with ideas for our album artwork we research into existing Pop Punk album artwork. We were looking for particular conventions that would not only represent their genre of music but the personality of the band.

This is a band photo of Call The Cops. This is the look we want to achieve with the video by using the colour accents like they have used for the bikes. The photo is also good because the title stands out but the focus is split between the font and the band members.

This is the Album Artwork for Punk Goes Pop a compelation CD of different Punk bands covering the newest Pop songs. The main focus is the title which is effective because it catches peoples eyes straight away. This would be good for a promotional pack because the band would want their name noticeable.



These are the two Album Artworks for Farewell, a Pop Punk band similar to Kids From The Summer. There artwork is very bright and are both cartoons. This style seems quite common amongst Pop Punk bands. Using a cartoon image like this looks effective for the genre of music but because this is a promotional pack for the band using a cartoon will not show the band so a photo of the members will promote them more as individuals.

This is Paramore's newest Album Artwork. It doesn't follow the theme of the bright colours but to create the effect we want we could use a photo like this and add a colour accent as punk bands often go for bright, eye catching colours.

This is Ramone's Album Artwork. This is also like the Paramore photo but with the coloured font. A style like this is what we want to achieve for the video so a photo like this of the band could reflect our music video well.
