RESEARCH INTO EXISTING CD COVERS 2

The second CD cover I looked at was "TRXYE" by Troye Sivan.

Like the Fall Out Boy cover, the TRXYE cover is very simplistic, however effective. The colours contrast against one another, making both stand out depending on which way you look at it. The white text really contrasts all of these colours, making it the focal point of the picture.

There are several frames in this photo, one around the edges to highlight the photo and one around the text to highlight the album name. This centralises the whole cover and gives an overall visually pleasing atmosphere.

This cover is quite simplistic, which will draw the audiences attention to the music more than the print work. This was Troye's 4th EP and his previous EP 'WILD' had similar imagery and simplistic colour scheming as well as this one.

The portrait photo presents natural imagery which gives the audience the impression that the albums theme and songs were written from a personal perspective and and from personal experience.

Unlike most CD covers, this cover does not feature an 'album name' and 'artist name' separately. This is because the X replaces the O in Troye's name and the background picture is of him. It is not difficult to assume the letter switch and this associates the name with the face, therefore identifying the album and the artist with one set of text.
