Analysing Good pop-punk Album Covers



Jimmy Eat World - Sweetness

The album cover for Jimmy Eat World -Sweetness would be an easy cover to imitate because it consists of a white background with a still of the band performing. This still could be taken from the performance footage in the video or from a photo-shoot.
The text on the album is also easy to imitate as it is a common, yet effective, font with the work eat in italics and a different colour.

This type of album cover is common with in the pop-punk genre because it allows the band to show that they can perform and play instruments without the fans having to go to a concert.
The pop-punk genre is also very simplistic so with an album cover they are looking to portray that it was just a quick thing that was put together because they focus more on their music.


A Day To Remember - For Those Who Have Heart

This album cover is also a good example of a pop-punk album but this one uses the bands logo instead of a shot of the band.
Most pop-punk bands tend to opt for this option over the band shot image because the logo means that they will have a recognisable image that people will associate with them.

However, I don't think that an album cover with a band logo on would be a good thing for us to do because we would have to think of an original idea for a logo and it would take up a lot of time to design and finalise. also, none of the group members are artistic so having to draw a logo would create a problem.
