DVD cover analysis- Blink 182

The plain and simplicity of the blink 182 cover immediately shows the audience that it is a blink 182 cover. This is shown clearly through the blink 182 art work is always connected to representing the band. By using the original art work smiley face any sort of blink 182 fan is drawn in straight away. The bold and simple colour scheme works well in relation to the band and follows the codes and conventions. Through the use of the main image and the bold titles this DVD cover follows the conventions very well all throughout the cover. The words ‘greatest hits’ are used which draws in the reader to think this album is better than any that has been out before. The white strip on the back of the cover with the worlds ‘greatest hits’ fits in nicely with the front cover and the repetitiveness of the word ‘great’ is strong. The descending size of the fonts used on the back in the names of the songs works effectively and draws the audience’s attention in and helps to create a more exciting DVD cover. I like the blink 182 DVD cover because I think the simplicity works in favor to the bands style, I always like the use of the famous blink smile because it shows a devotion to the band and originality. I think the cover could do with a bit more colour to make it more eye grabbing and effective.
