cd covers with words

For this next blog, I choose to compare three different CD covers. These covers have all sorts of different styles that prove useful for different audiences. They also have various ways of luring people in. One of the biggest lures is the genre they our supporting.

Britney spears obviously is in the genre of pop music. That means that people who like pop music will automatically at least consider giving their attentions to it. Just like Britney Spears applies to a certain genre, so do GWAR and Foreigner. GWAR is in between hard rock and a metal genre, where as Foreigner applies to classic rock. All of these bands will attract different audiences because of their different types of genres. Genre is not the only means of persuasiveness provided though. The colors on the covers also will help decide their persuasiveness.

Certain colors attract different people. The one thing that all of these CD covers have in common is that they will not attract little children because they do not have bright colors. Britney Spears and GWAR will probably attract a teenage crowd because they have some semi-bright colors. The black that sticks out in Britney's Cd cover is not to dull, but it is not really bright. GWAR's picture has the bright red, but since they do not use a lot of it, it mainly sticks out to the teenage crowd. The dull colors in the Foreigner Cd sticks out to older people. Just as the colors provided different types of persuasion, so does the images themselves.

The images will attract various kinds of people. Brittney Spears has her beauty on the cover. This will attract girls because girls long for a sense of beauty. In a way, though, it can also attract boys. Some boys may like the way she looks, which could persuade their attention towards the cover. The GWAR cover obviously supports a different crowd. They show swords and different weapons that can result in action. This usually appeals more to guys then girls. Their use of violent images will not attract to many super young or old people. They attract the teenagers and some adults though. Journey's images are all composed of words which persuades an older crowd. Younger people usually like images over words and older people tend to like words over images. Words, like pictures, can also provide various persuasions to different people.

Every band have different forms of words that persuade different audiences. Some bands use lots of words, where as others use none. GWAR and Britney Spears use little words, which will persuade the younger crowd. They judge Cds more on pictures and artists rather than words. Foreigner's Cd, on the other hand, would probably attract an older crowd. It's images our made out of words and even some of the letters in these words have other words or symbols in them. The various text shown in this picture would persuade an older crowd. These Cd's have several various persuasive techniques and they all work and different ways.
