1. CD Cover Research Martyn Bishop

2. Cover 1: Mezmerize, System of a Down Released: May 16, 2005

3. This image is created by reflecting a wooden figure in a mirror 3 times and incorporating a clock with a pendulum, which gives the representation of hypnosis. You could see who the artist is because the band is made up of 4 members and there are 4 different faces on the cover. I believe that the age group for this album are adults because some of the songs contain swear words and young children don’t want to hear such language. The cover itself is too dark because most metal albums contain dark colours but i think that there can be more art on the cover but the hypnotising pendulum draws eyes towards the cover. Working out from the copyright table this album expires 70 years after the death of the author. Mezmerize, System of a Down http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mezmerize_(albu m)

4. Cover 2: Riot, Paramore Released: June 12, 2007

5. Cover 2: Riot, Paramore This image was made by repeating the album name and other people who made the album art scattered all over the cover. The band is represented on the cover as well as their names. The colours on this cover correspond to colours used on riot signs hence the album name Riot!. Working out from the copyright table this album expires 70 years after creation or 70 years after the work was made available to the public if within 70 years of creation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riot!

6. Cover 3: Toxicity, System of a Down Released: September 4, 2001

7. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxicity This image has been created by taking a photograph of the hill in Hollywood and incorporating it into an album cover on the slope of the hill to form the bands name into the same style as the Hollywood sign. The way that I would improve this album cover is to make it more in a toxic plant hence the name Toxicity because it contains the word toxic in its name.
