Fitness for purpose: This is the CD cover of Linkin Park's album Meteora. The purpose would be to persuade people to buy the album. It would probably appeal to the target audience of Linkin Park and other people may also be persuaded to purchase the album. The image of the man with the spray paint may appeal to teenagers because it gives the impression of rebelling. The album would not be very highly priced so most people would be able to buy it. The band name, album title and track listing stand out from the background image which means that they are easy for people to see if the album was in a shop so if people are already fans of Linkin Park then they will see the band name and want to buy it. The colours of the album are not directed at a particular gender. The album would be available in shops all over the country so everyone will have the opportunity to buy it.
Format: It would be a standard CD size as it is a basic CD cover and not a digipak.
Content: The image on the album cover is the main part of the cover but the text is in a contrasting colour and is placed in the middle of the image which means that it is not overshadowed and in fact stands out from the image without taking attention away from the image. The text is also bold and all in capitals which makes it even more eye-catching.
Design/Layout: The image is the main background of the album cover and all of the text is over the top of it. The text is written in contrasting colours to make it stand out. Lines are used to seperate the band name, album name and the track listing for the album. On the track listing, numbers are used to show the correct order of the songs. The numbers are in a different colours to the song names so that people will know that they are not part of the song names.
