Mouse Rat CD Cover and Poster

Mouse Rat Digipak




When making the CD cover for Mouse Rat, a rock band, I tried to get inspiration from other artists in the rock genre to pick out similar elements to use in my rendition of their CD and Album cover. Primarily, I found that artists such as Nirvana, AC/DC and Catfish and the Bottlemen used black and white on their album covers, using bold white text that would stand out from the dark background. incorporated this idea into both my CD cover and poster, as I decided to use bold white fonts on the front which are shown to stand out from the background which is darker, and shows two people behind looking in the direction of the camera. The very large font on the front is used to immediately show the audience who the artist is, creating a brand so they can become more easily recognisable.

From analysing these CD covers and posters, I will try to incorporate some of these ideas in my work so my poster and CD cover will fit in the alternative genre well and be recognisable from the target audience.

At first, I wanted to find out the reasons why my target audience would listen to music, to see what elements I could incorporate into my own music video. From the results of my questionnaire, it appears that the most common reasons why my target audience would listen to music is to relax, to make them happy and to escape; these are elements that I will consider when drafting initial for my music video to try and appeal to as wide an audience as possible.   Next, I wanted to ask my audience about their feelings when listening to music, and what it makes them think of mostly. From my results, I have found that the main things people think of when listening...
