Similar Products that follow the same genre as ours - Indie/Alternative
Here i have picked to albums that resemble the same genre as ours , which is Indie Alternative
1st album - Red Hot Chili Peppers Album - By the way +
2 album - Nirvana - Nevermind






Below are two album covers of bands that follow the same genre as ours (Indie Alternative) both albums contain the name of the band the , a list of their own songs , the studio and legal information. Both front album covers are showing an artistic abstract image done through editing or painting. For example in Red Hot Chili Peppers they have used an naked outline of a women's figure done creatively in matalic blue , red, purple and light grey colours to resemble their colour theme. As opposed to nirvana they have also used a naked photo of a human figure, however its a baby swimming under water , but the the colours that are used are light blues , dark blue's and turquoise. Both alums have a similar colour theme and both seem to supply similar imagery as a theme, because they both have human figures naked on the front cover of their album. The fact that the band is not on the front cover of the album could suggest that they want their consumers focus on their music rather than their looks or what their image looks like. However on the album Red Hot Chili Peppers the band members can only be seen on the back cover, (which reflects how they want to be seen as less important) . However they are all facing the back or covering their faces , (all in black and white) , except one member who is the vocal lead in posited in the centre and is facing the front , however not looking at all at the camera , and looks like he is mid shouting something to someone that he is looking at in the picture. the camera composition of this photo is very natural and is as if thee band members are not posing for the camera at all. This could symbolise they are adhering towards the genre conventions of the band not being perceived as superficial , instead they are recognised for their music and their abstract image , which relates to the genre convention of that Indie alternative style of approach to their album image. were as in Nirvana the back cover continues the same theme as the front , it is an extension of the underwater picture. There is no imagery of the artist. This album is adhering towards the genre stereotype convention because it is identified as nonfigurative. both albums have used very different and quirky fonts regarding titles. For example in the Red Hot Chili Peppers they have used bold expansive fonts that has their brand name all around the edges of the album cover. They have continued to use that same colour scheme which are reds, baby blues and purple, as they have every letter in a different colour. This is to grab the consumers attention and draw their focus onto the band themselves and the brand new product that is released. As opposed to Nirvana they have chosen a more simple yet eye gripping font. They have put the artists name on the bottom left in capitals. This will bring his target audience's focus to his name since they are in big capitals which conveys the importance in the name rather than the image of the man behind the music. The sub heading (Nevermind) has a correlation with the underwater sea heme since the font is done in a wavy circular shape style. ( As if the the font was a sea wave) . this creates a clear relationship and link between the whole overall theme of water and waves in Nirvana's Album. A star image has been constructed in Red hot Chili peppers through them being appreciated for their music and creating a name through their talent rather than looks. They have created an conjectural image were hey are perceived as abstract and creative in their overall album. with the use of fonts and the assembling of the matalic naked women painting add s to their weird quirky image that they are conveying across to their consumers. there target audience has been addressed through the use of their chosen theme such as abstract painting and the colours that they have used such as light blues , purple , white , and red, all eye gripping vibrant colours that capture the target audiences focus. There album is a far cry from the superficial look. There look is distinctive. were as for Nirvana a star image has been constructed through the ban waiting to be appreciated for their music rather than their own image which could come across to their target audience as refreshing and rare. The fact that the artist is not seen in the front or back cover of the album makes could possibly make his target audience question this but however want to find out more about the Nirvana because it is like a mystery to them which leaves the consumers wanting more which relates to how he has created is overall star image.
