10 graphic/media design

So I chose random CD covers that were pretty neat..

This cover is so random...I love it. Theres no actual color scheme...not an actual image they are portraying. It's really weird..but weird in a good way..if that even makes sense.

I really like how there is a black and white piano portrayed on this cover...and I LOVE how imperfect it is. The lines aren't straight at all, nothings really even. I think it's great.

The random bold colors of this cover makes it very successful. I would think it allows it to pop out in the stores on the rack along with the million other CDs for sale. I think that is a great way of selling the CD actually...I never really thought of it until now but having a cover that is really bold will attract the customers...pretty neat huh?

When I first saw this cover, the first thing that came into mind was BLIND CONTOUR!! ..with color. I think this is a very cool design...very different but it is nice. The simple gray background contrasting the bold red, green, yellow, and blue is a success.

The red shades that create this cover works well. The contrast of the red and the very deep red is the key to its success . I also think the design of the background is good that it is not so overbearing.

The colorful bold colors go very well with the dull off white background. Depth is shown well by the girl in the middle being bigger than the rest. I really like chaotic this cover is.

Red, white, and black...the three colors used to illustrate this cover. It is very simple, but I think that simplicity is what works on this cover. All of the colors are evenly used..which is nice.

This is one of my favorite CDs of all time! The big record that is illustrated on the cover really gives me the image of the "greatest hits" for some reason. Shading (the reflection of the light on the record) is used very briefly, which gives the picture more volume.
I love the back and white portrait of the city. Depth and perception is very well shown, it looks very real to me. The minimal use of color equals success for this album.

Honestly, I've never even heard of this person before...but when I was looking around for album covers, I came across this one I really liked how media deign was incorporated into a real photograph. I don't think this cover is designed THAT well but I just really liked the idea of using a little bit of both...real photo and media design.
