Manic street preachers
This DVD cover is simplistic yet stylish. It’s unusual to have such small images of the band members on such a plain background but this DVD cover for Manic Street Preachers works incredibly well. The background is portrayed as an art gallery, and the images of the band seem to be fallen pictures, previously hanging on the wall. The style of the images of each band member are in the style of Andy Warhol. This looks very effective as it’s very modern and up to date. A different colour is used for each band members image, this technique is often used on band memorabilia. It also allows colour to be incorporated into the cover. I think that using different colours for each band members would work well on my bands DVD cover so this is an idea I will consider when designing the cover. I also like the font of the text in this cover, its edgy and very rock/indie style.

Muse
I find this DVD cover for Muse very interesting, its predominantly image based with a large, birds eye style image. As the image has been taken above, the perspective makes the image interesting, as it’s a rareity to see and image on a DVD cover that’s been taken from above, this factor sets it appart from the very over used ‘front mid length shot’ normally used on covers. The man in the image, presumed to be the lead singer, is looking up at the sky. 
The target market can to fail to see that although there is only one image of a man there are many shadows without an origin of where the shadows are being formed. This poses the target audience to ask themselves why is this? And instantly adds a sence of mystery as well as intrigues the audience. I really like the idea of having more than just a photo on my DVD cover, I like the idea of using different photoshop techniques to create this. I will definatly research this technique futher to make the most of the technology available, and I also think it would make my cover more edgy and current. The size of the bands name and DVD name are very small in comparison to the image, this is very confident of the band to expect to be recognised by the main image, this is very ‘Muse’ and reflects the bands confident nature.

Radiohead
This DVD cover is very effective as it stands out to the target audience very well. The black background works really well as it directs attention to the image in the centre of the photo. This cover doesn’t include any images of the band which is unusual for a DVD cover for a band.
Instead it features an image of a female and male character holding hands. This image is an outline cut into the black background, the middle of the image is a wood effect textured look in yellow/red colour scheme. This technique looks really effective as it’s intriguing as it makes the target audience want a closer look to see what is inside the images. Writing and images are both used sparsely in this cover but although there is only two words, it’s so straight to the point its tells the target audience all they need to know about the cover. This simplistic look is defiantly worth considering for my cover as it will stop the cover form looking too ‘cluttered’. The font used for the text is very plain and bold which makes it stand out, also the white against the black enforces this further.
