CD Cover research

As part of our project we have to look at creating a new cover for the album or single in which our song would be on. To do this, we want to have a look at the previous MGMT album covers as well as other bands of the genre to get a general feel for what we should base our ideas on.

Firstly, we looked at the MGMT albums and single covers especially from the first album which the song 'Weekend Wars', the one we are doing is on.

Oracular Spectacular = Original



This shows the hippy side of MGMT that comes across in their music and their looks on the pictures that we found of them. It shows examples of them playing around with fancy dress style clothing and trying to give this imaginative vibe across that is shown in their music.




Oracular Spectacular = Alternative






This is a much more colourful and pyschadelic album cover compared to the other one. It still shows this imaginative style that is shown in the other one as they show ideas of people on some random planet and dressed in funky clothing.


Time To Pretend = Single




This is another example of their very colourful approach to their album covers, it involves bright colours and a very strange, creative approach to their ideas.


Congratulations = Original





This cover is continuing on with the themes of bright and very extravagent ideas that goes throughout all of MGMT's cd covers.
