Album Covers

No doubt 

American rock band that 1986. Since 1994 the group has consisted of, Gwen Stephani, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont and Adrain Young. They are of similar genre to Garbage, therefore i am going to analyse some of their didgpaks or album covers. 

They are an alternative rock band and in this cover i can denote that there is a lot going on and the main focus is the women. The band's name 'No Doubt' is also in large writing at the top of the album cover. The cover is also animated and there is a large circle behind her with a tress and people working in it. A common convention in the album covers seem to be with a large eye catching design in the centre of the album cover. The album title is called 'tragic kingdom'. I am able to denote also that there are flies on the outside of the circle as if they have flown through and it's a vortex. The female at the front may be represented as Gwen Stephani. The people in the back ground may possibly be the rest of the band mates.   

This is another cover called 'Hella Good'. This is one of the more early covers that No Doubt released. The background is back and white and the colour scheme is again three colours; red, black and white. The band members hair is also either black or bleach blonde. This was a common hair colour in the early 2000's and late 90's. The background is black and white and is in a circle, the preferred reading of this may be a vortex and to mess with the audience's eyes. Overall this is a very simple album cover and the colour scheme matches the general conventions of a pop rock album cover. The writing is bold and stands out to the audience.
