CD Covers of THE RASMUS

The CD cover of The Rasmus

for Taiwan audience

CD Covers of Others

Gorillaz

This surreal scene could be a sign of alternative music, this inspired us to make the real pictured with effects to make it look wired.

Although the rasmus not usually use cartoon in its covers, but we do could use their visual style. Simple dark color

Julien-k

This give us an idea of making a dead woman on our front cover   as  we have death in our video as well.

The Cd cover of Julien is so cool that a women with blood, even she does not look like being dead. 

The photo is a cut in an action, which makes it so moving and active, liberate. 

They use strong color comparison between black and red. They might have used photoshop to make it more perfect. 

We will contain the blood, but not a front of woman, girls will kill us, and it is a mass. Because we need to thriller the audience not show how horrible the death is.  

Kaiser chiefs

The CD is a close up of bed, which is related to the theme of video, so we could make our CD look like a photo of an important moment in our music video




Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Big kiss!!!

This CD design is related to the red hot chili peppers color--RED! It is easy for audience to recognise. 

For us, we need to fill the expectation of fans for the style of the Rasmus, so they could recommend the band again. As the feature of the Rasmus is black and furs. we will remain it on our CD DIGIPAK COVER

we will add the song names on the back

we will take a picture of our leading role- Quincy's back instead of front, she will not be naked because she is not adult yet.

This picture is made through computer and remain the surreal style and theme of love from mother.
The CD could attract teenage boys.
Our idea is to show a CU of girl's back, but she is dead, and besides her body, there is a fur on the floor, which is the sign for the Rasmus.
Our target audience is teenage girls and boys, it will be a better idea for us to hide some of the fact, like who is dead? who killed her? Why? audience will be curious to see what will happen in the song.
Our back ground is going to be in black, which will match the rock genre.

we may do a theme within the front, back and cd. 

close up again

A red river!!! That is what we will do, red our river on the back cover

The covers of Red Hot Chili Peppers have a style of unreality and cartoon, colorful covers. This are significant their style, giving audience a sense of nature but fantasy by upside down the sky and the sea. This make this cover outstanding among others.

This is the front page of the band and we will use this idea of our back page, because the Rasmus often use nature picture to  end.
To remain the surreal theme and make the picture not boring, we are going to red our red as well, this also could be a metaphor of love murder under the sun.
We will reduce the color in the iconography instead of make it more colorful because there is not many color in rasmus style.

That is cute
