My two very favourite albums are St Jude by The Courteeners and Definitely Maybe by Oasis. They also happen to be my two favourite album covers. Here I analyze St Jude by The Courteeners.
This album cover is different to the oasis album cover as it doesn’t include any of the band members.
However, it uses an iconic image of a woman wearing red lipstick which would immediately draw the eye of the audience as it is bold and stands out. The design also may suggest that the band are genuine and could also show that they are quite modern and different from other bands working in the same genre. The use of the colour red in the woman’s lipstick shows passion and could relate to the passion the band have for their music. The Courteeners are also Manchester United fans which also may suggest this. The use of black also suggests mystery and creates an enigma around the band and their music making the target audience want to buy and listen to the music. The title is simplistic and bold similar to the Oasis cover which could suggest the boldness of the band and the font used is also quite plain and classic which could also connote that the band is classic and original.
The album art was painted by band member Liam Fray of Audrey Hepburn.
