I have begun looking into modern boy band front covers for inspiration to our album cover itself. Primiarily i have discovered that front covers for boy bands are very much performance based and i will be uploading other examples to show this. This technique has not changed with time either, it seems to be a trend that carries on through the eras. This particular front cover is for boyzones 'come-back' album, soo having the only images of the actual band works in two ways. One being that fans will see there faces and immediately associate to them, and relate back to who they are. The second being that it alerts people that they are back with a new image. If they was to realise a front cover with a say landscape picture, the audience may think that this is an old album. The colours used are sophisticated, and toned down, representing that off a much older man, showing that the band are back much older, and appealing to a different audiences. Straying away from the previous childish boy band state.The light casting, shows reflection back upon there careers, and also the loss of stephen gately as the album is entitled brother. It shows both good and bad with dark and light representing it.
