Album - Week 1 - Monday

Today we were introduced to Graphic Design as well as the brief. We were encouraged to listen to the album assigned to us to redesign the cover. I got Born in the USA, A Bruce Springsteen record I have never heard before and do not have much experience with the genre of. I generally liked it - I enjoyed the political themes, and I did not find the music annoying. It was well constructed in a way I could tell without necessarily being a fan.

I spent a minute analysing the original cover. The cover that should be visible in the above thumbnail is brilliant - it perfectly conveys everything associated with everyday america, down to the baseball cap in the back and the pose. The colours in it are striking, the pose unusual, it all creates a very memorable and effective cover.
