Analyzing two album covers of artists similar to mine

1^st CD cover: L.A. Noire soundtrack

This CD cover exhibits the distinctive features of Film Noir perfectly with the central dominant image being a dignified, attractive woman with a jazz band silhouetted behind her shrouded in smoke. Distinctive lighting and visual style also help to suggest the aesthetic style of Film Noir. Even the font and colour of the title coincides with the overall effect of nostalgia for Film Noir.

2^nd cover (vinyl sleeve): Dave Brubeck’s greatest hits

This album cover represents Dave Brubeck as quite a well groomed, civilised man as seems to be the norm for Jazz artists. Image is just as important as the music you produce in the genre of jazz a lot of emphasis is placed on glamour. Again we see the low key lighting that also seems to be a trait of images associated with jazz and iconic Film Noir images.
