CD Example Two- The Human League

I decided to have a look through my family's CD Tower at home and see if anything caught my eye. I found one of my Dads Human League albums. Seeing as I'm focusing on the use of lighting in my music video to tie in with the title of the song. I thought that this album cover was a good example of how use of lighting can be used to create a dramatic effect. I love the shadowing and how the light just highlights their main features. Its a simple just eye catching design which is easily recognisable. With the 'Octopus' typography bellow I thought was an in textual reference to the film 'Alien' which also uses the same typography style. I spotted this straight away as the Alien text is quite unique as it is a stretched font using the lime green is also a give away that The Human League are trying to convey a sci-fi look to their album. Another giveaway is the space themed background with the stars. Because I think this is a fantastic effect I will use something like this for my CD design. If not my main character I will certainly use this effect on my three dancers. As they are all wearing fascinators I think by creating this effect would really highlight the net covering their eyes which would be quite effective.
