Album cover and poster

Album covers for singles and their alternate posters are usually very similar in comparison, such as they often seem to have the same background, the same lighting, similar colours, and if the artists are in the picture, then they often wear the same clothes. The AC DC poster and matching CD cover is a clear example of the similar content used in posters and CD covers.









There are exceptions to this, and below are a collection of posters and CD covers that reflect this idea. The material below has influenced us as a guide to developing our own CD covers and posters for our music video. The hip-hop poster is not an item of advertisement from an artist for a particular CD, and so therefore has only inspired us for its use of effects and what content we could use for our poster.
