Simon and Garfunkel - Old Friends - Box Set (Front cover only)


Front
- The bright red font used for the title is very eye catching and is the most distinctive part of the front cover, so it grabs most of the attention; which is then drawn by the smaller white font of the album cover which is set on a grey background, helping it become a lot more clear and easy to read.
- The colour of the imagery is basic and simple, as well as the actual picture itself, such as their clothing and equipment which helps the audience to focus on the important aspects as well as being very easy on the eye, which attracts the audience more.
- The two artists are sat next to each other gazing off set which connotes their similarity and denotes that they are close friends due to their positioning within the frame.
- The positioning of the two artists also conforms to generic folk industry as the majority of folk bands are shown together as one on their albums.
- The use of musical equipment in the background, along side the plain clothing and setting gives an impression that their music is more important than selling themselves and that music is all they need rather than lots of fame and fortune.
- The artificial lighting is also well used as it is not obvious and not distracting which helps draw as much attention towards the title and artists.
