The get up kids

Images an animated drawing of two metal robots because one is leaning on the other it is as though the smaller one is younger and possibly a child which links to the title The Get the Kids Up. Hence this could be a positive stereotype of age with innocents. I was thinking of having a lens in the centre of my album cover to imply that due to the development of technology everyones being watched by cameras but I don't know if that would make it too busy. Nevertheless, this could challenge the conventions of this bands CD cover which is quite simple.

Colour two different purples have been used  both connoting royalty so if you supposedly buy this album you are royal. They are all once again quite mellow colours possibly connoting the music is quite calm with the beige and the grey. This black album name against the beige slightly stands out but the write definitely stands out against the purple and connotes purity perhaps the kids are pure and innocent more than robots

Font the album names writing is handwritten whereas the artists name is printed thus they are slightly different but are still quite scribbly and thin which I think I will develop by using this as just my album name and use a thicker font for my artists name. Nevertheless they follow the codes and conventions find in CD covers I think in general even if they are different genres the artists name is larger than the albums name if it has an albums name (unlike Weezer).

Layout the album name is aligned to the left in the bottom corner whereas the the arts name is aligned to the right in the top corner. This creates contrast and juxtaposes each other. Its quite calm as it isn't busy thus it reinforces that the CDs music will be the same.

Language - Something to write home about is almost labeling the album as the say the music inside is something to write about to tell others family about the amazing music - directing the audience to write home about it. The Get Up Kids reinforces the positive representation of youths because the name infers that kids are enthusiastic and energetic. I also looked this name up and found it was named after The Cure's "Suburban Get Up Kids" in http://www.bittersuiteband.com/music_band-name-origins.htm#t.
