CD backs

In this CD back we see Beyoncé herself on her own CD. This is common amongst all genres of music not just pop or punk. Within this cover Beyoncé is wearing little clothing around her bottom and legs to show off her flesh and to entice a male audience and fans. This is seen in pop music but is rare amongst rock or even punk. She also has her song titles and numbers down the opposite side to which she is stood in both images so it does not distract from the image and also so the writing is easy to read, the picture could cause the writing to be unreadable. Again on both is the bar code in the corner and record label and a small piece about who makes the CD and produced it etc. Down both sides of the CD is the same on both sides, the name of the artist and album and also a product number and record label. In this case SONY.

this image is from Debbie Harry's album KooKoo. It, like the Beyoncé albums has the same style on the back as it does on the front, and has the same features on the side of the CD. On this back she has included the spikes that were seen to be going through her face on the front of the CD and again the track list and numbers aren't covering the image or vice versa. However unlike Beyoncé Debbie hasn't used a picture of herself on the back. And again there is a little information on the record label and it has a bar code, this time underneath the main image.

This is Katy Perry's 'California Girls' CD back. Much like Debbie Harry's CD back cover Katy hasn't used a picture of herself on the back of this CD. Instead she has carried on the theme of the clouds which can be seen on the front of her CD. She has also used the theme of candy on her back cover replacing the letter 'o's' with what looks to be lollipops. Again there is a bar code and a little bit of information on the record label.

This is Avril Lavigne's C D back cover to one of her newest albums. This, like Beyoncé has a picture of her on the back aswell as the front, as Avril is my main inspiration for my music video a lot of my ideas will come from her, however not forgetting other punk or pop artists. Again there is some information on the record label also showing their logo and a bar code not distracting from the main image. Avril has very dark eye make up in both CD backs which is common of punk music and can be seen on both men and women in this genre. similarly the track names and numbers are away from the main image again in both pictures, it is seen that this is done in all genres not just pop-punk. In both images the theme has been carried on from the front of the CD.
