The Eraser Cd Cover


This is kind of trippy but really interesting. It really hold your attention. I like how the whole illustration is black and white, but the name is colorful, although the graphic behind the name is really out of place and almost throws it all off. But other than that i think its a cool and interesting abstraction of the sea and sky, and it keeps the viewer guessing and interested.

Halina Larsson Cd Cover


This is an okay design. Its just a plain old autobiographical album cover with some awful 80's clothes and graphics and a strange color scheme.  You would think it would be opposite and the woman would be in color to draw your attention to her. Right know she just kind of hides in the background. No the biggest fan of this one.

Pale and The Botox Barbies Dc Cover


This is kind of great, to be honest. Its very energetic and exciting. The repeating shape of the figure rocking out really stands out from the plain gray background, and the way they overlap draw your eyes in to try and figure out what is going on. Its like peacefully chaotic. (that would be a good band name.... syke.) Anyway, I like this and i think the messy font pits perfectly with the energetic design. Coooooool!

M83 CD Cover And CD Label


This is interesting. I love how the band name is like a stencil in the cover and the same color is used for the CD label. I also think they somewhat algebraic and spacey design fits perfectly with the design of the Band name. The spacing is clean in both designs and the space cloud as a background isn't too much to where it takes away from the name, and its not too little to where it is visually boring. Nice.

Under The Iron Sea Cd Cover


This illustration is perfect for the name of the album. If i were to imagine an iron sea i would picture pissed off raging horse waves. haha. But seriously, i think this is super creative and really well put together. And having the album name in the negative space in the top corner pulls it all together. Great album cover. Creative, simple layering and a clean, relative font.

Bastille CD Cover

Ehhhhh... Im on the fence. I love the band so i think it makes me want to like this, but its so centered and something is just off.  Writing All This in the sand is a great idea but it is just too different from the rest of the design. The classy black and white car and the clean, all caps sans-serif font is great, but then we have pointless quotation marks and a Halloween, creepy style "All This." It could really be better.
