ACDC album covers

It has a clear logo at the top of the cover, the colours are fairly neutral/dull and the name of the album has clear links to the illustration.

This is a very simple album cover with three main parts, the logo, a canon and the name. The picture suggests a negative notion and the lack of bright colours complements this.



These are examples of ACDC's album covers. We decided to look at these to get some ideas of genre characteristics that have been included in their album cover. These examples mostly use fairly dull and dark colours which suits the look of a rock genre album. The imaging used is fairly basic and can suggest negative notions such as canon and eyes being blacked out. The font style is usually the bands logo which is quite bold and could be described as gothic, which fits in well with the mood that is trying to be created. When we design our own DVD/magazine advert, we will take into consideration the ideas used for ACDC's album covers
