Mumford & Sons CD Cover Analysis

Here is my analysis of the cd cover Sigh No More by Mumford & Sons. The album was released in 2009 and has been one of the bands most popular albums.

• The style that Mumford & Sons have gone for is the band members being filmed in a long shot with them being the shop window display. The general look of this is that it naturally blends in and the band members don't look out of place. 
• The name of the band and the name of the album have been left down the bottom of the the picture. This is so that it doesn't disturb and interupt the look and concept that the band have tried to capture with the album cover. By disguising it to belnd in wih the pavement it also makes the words like like they are jumping out at you. 
• The general look and what clothes the band members are wearing represent and give a hint to the audience about the type of music the band performs as well as the style/look that they are going for as well. 
• The back of the cd cover is muc simpler, at the top of the shot we see the barcode that is used by shops to scan the item before it is bought. You can also see the window of what would be the back of this house/building. 
• Below this you can also see the names of the songs which the band have got on this cd. 
• Following this at the bottom of the cd it has the names of record labels as well as recognition for other artisits and muscians that feature on the cd. 
• On the sleeve of the cd you can see the name of the band as well as the record label as well. It also shows the name of the album as well.
