Keeping in touch with the last analysis, I have decided to do a classic rock band who released their newest album after a short hiatus. AC/DC released Black Ice in 2008, 8 years after their last album. For this reason I feel it is a good analysis due to it being a popular band who have re-released in the modern age.
The most striking thing about this cover is how there is absolutely no colour except on the AC/DC logo. I feel this could be because less people would care about the albums now and AC/DC might have fallen out of favour. The band therefore felt it necessary to show that they were AC/DC and attempt to appeal to an earlier market. This also means that the logo is extremely eye catching and even someone who does not appreciate AC/DC would still be drawn towards it.
The background image appears to be mostly nonsensical, with the band’s logo being repeated several times and several other images that are of little importance. The entire background image is symmetrical, except the small guitarist at the very top centre. This helps to create a uniform feel to the cover, with the eyes drawn to where the band feel they should be.
