Bastille CD Cover Analysis

Here is my CD cover analysis of the album 'Bad Blood' by Bastille. The album was released in 2013 and has been one of Bastille's biggest successes.

• At the very top of the album cover we can see in a small font that there is the name of 'Bad Steel', this doesn't actually have a direct connection apart from sounding of a similar pronounciation of the band name. Its has probably been added in as either part of sponsorship deal or just becuase the band like to have a play on on their album covers.
• Following this we have the name of the band 'Bastille' which has been used in a clear font and near the top of the album cover so that it is easy to find and is recognisable when you go to look for and buy the album. 
• After this we see a long shot of a man running away from a car with the headlights shining on him. He is the centre of the photo, with this idea maybe also relating to the name of the album which could be a common theme that might have been used in music videos that have been made.
• Next we see the name of the album 'Bad Blood', which again is in the same font as the name of the band and also has the lette A repleaced with a triangle. This could also be a potential idea that and deliberate act that the band has done. There is also a very small picture of again of a triangle seperate to this which isn't in a word. 
• At the bottom of the advert we have the names of production companies and the various record labels that Bastille work with, who will want their names to be mentioned so that they can prmote their businesses as well for potential customers that they can reciece from people purchasing this album. 
• This is an unconventional looking poster as it doesn't give any indications about the genre of the music or tell you anything about the tone of the music. If anything it looks like it could be used for a film as a cover to that.
