CD Cover Analysis

While looking at my 'CD Cover Examples' post, I noticed the similarities between one of the CD covers we researched and took influence from, and our own cover:

Both ours and Michael Jackson's covers use the black and white shadow effect to emphasise of body features, in his case it's his deep eyes and in ours, our faces. We both then use colour in our titles so that stand out and catch the audience's eyes.
     We have taken influence from many artists and ideas to create our cover and Digipak- but we hope this shows we're definitely on the same wave-length as one of the world’s greatest ever musicians.
