CD Cover Research: Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz!



Here the predominate colour is white, rather than black, but the front and back covers are still quite plain and simple. What is odd here is that the artwork for the insert and CD do not really match the covers. Visually they are very different, using new colours and the CD, far from being plain, is quite busy and bright. The effect of this is quite jarring and, though the overall moods are relatively similar, it is confusing.

As our song is quite simple and down-beat I doubt we will design anything like the more cheery insides seen here. The lack of logo/title on the front cover is puzzling as well, they only appear on a sticker, not the actual design. Perhaps with a more abstract band this would make sense but neither Yeah Yeah Yeahs or The Temper Trap fit that description so we won't go down that route.
