CD Designs

The 3 cd designs I found have always been big favourites of mine,


The guitarist of this band had a lot to do with the design, and in his spare time outside music he puts on a lot of art shows to display his own work and one of his main styles is just splashing paint on a canvas and making unique design in which you notice in the background, just a green background with splashes of white and blue paint which make the design more unique. I'm not too sure what the lemons are about as they are also used a lot in the whole advertising of the band as in posters, T-shirts and their singles but now when I see half cut lemons around it always reminds me of this album. The red, white and blue at the side just respresents the colours of the united kingdom flag and makes it look a bit like war stripes that are used in indian tribes. The orange in the letters make it stand out but not too bright and is clear to read.


The third is Paul Weller's "Stanley Road" he has tried to include all his favouite things in the cover and with the mod badge on the right you realise that it is from an artist who has been around since the 70's. The colours have been used just right, again not too bright but they make the album stand out. I like how the actual sign of Stanley Road has been used in the middle instead of just adding text over an image. Some of the images that have been used tells you about some of the songs after you have listened to the album it all becomes clear.


This has to be my favourite design of them all, and considering that the album has been out for over 40 years this has set the style for many artists and many more to come. Your eyes are striaght away focused on the artist Beatles lettering in flowers at the bottom which is both clear and loud. The album's name is straight above the name so you don't have to go looking all over to find the album name. The 4 band members have also been designed wearing colourful clothing to make them stand out from the rest and with charactors from everywhere all around including earlier models of themselves, this album makes it one of the brightest and talked about music album designs of all time.
