When you look at the cover of The circle by Bon Jovi what you first notice is the actual picture they have used. It is off the band walking through a circular tunnel, which straight away relates to the title of the album the circle. However because of the fact that the tunnels start small and gets bigger it makes it seem that the circles are sound waves coming from the band which are right in the middle of the picture, showing the loud nature of their music.
Also the fact that there is a lot of light coming from the start of the tunnel highlights the band, which is shown in slight silhouettes, to the audience. This attracts the audience’s eyes straight away to the band members, and those who are big fans of the band will notice them straight away and realises whose album this is. Also when you look at the album you see that it uses many dark colours such as black and grey, to signify the rock and metal nature of the music. This is then juxtaposed with the white colour which can signify pureness, which could means that the band has gone back to their roots with their new album.
Finally the title is superimposed on the top of the album cover because that is usually one of the first places a person looks at when they look at an album, so it is an excellent place to put the title of the album and band. Also the fact that the top of the album cover fades to black and the text is white makes the title stand out to the audience. So they know straight away whose album it is.
What I believe the best points of this album cover is the use of editing and construction of the picture, as one simple picture signifies the type of music as well as the album name and the band. This is something that we are hoping to achieve since we hope to use just one well shot picture.
