Existing Cover Artwork - Minimum Colour Used (B&W)

Apart from the ‘For He’s a Jolly Good Felon’ cover (last one), all of these covers are black and white (or have minimum colour). This suits the alternative rock genre because most of the songs in this genre address issues of social concern, which could be why black and white is used (for more grim purposes or to show that the issues are as clear to the bands as black and white).

The last cover, by ‘Lostprophets’, has a blue colour running through it in order to contrast to the black background and allows the white text to stand out more. The effect of having streaks of colour could be quite a useful technique for my album cover.
