Further Research into Album/DVD covers for Music

I was not 100% happy with the final outcome of the DVD cover. I felt this was due to the lack of effort put in by the associated group members that were allocated to complete this task. I completed further research into what makes a good DVD cover, and even what interesting album art has occurred over the years. This was to put myself at ease or to worry myself more about whether our DVD cover was good enough. After looking at this website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8605975.stm

I found that images of irrelevance to music can sometimes prove to be more outstanding and bold to an audience leading to popularity of that particular album due to this irrelevance. This was evident in Pink Floyd's case when they put an image of a cow, onto their album cover of 'Atom Heart Mother'. The image was the complete main focus of the album cover, with not even a title or logo of the band to familiarise audience with previous albums from the band. It was frowned upon by the record label however the album reached number one even though the cow had no relevance to the music the album withheld.

This helped me come to terms with the DVD cover we had produced, as even though the coloured pupil on our eye had some relevance to the music video we had produced it was not the main focus, but the fact it was an eye catching image made me more optimistic about the front cover of the DVD case.
