these are all jimi hendrix album covers, i have chosen them because i am a big fan of jimi hendrix and i noticed that his album covers are always really innotive and unusual. the first is a live album cover, the reason i chose it is simply because i like how he has got the gig faded in the background which is a good technique and i could consider using this. the second is axis bold as love which looks very indian in the way that it has got an indian god head on some of the people, i love the colours used as they are very bright, i would want these sort of bold bright colours on my poster and album cover, i also love the symetry i think it looks very effective. the third album cover is the outakes of axis bold as love and it uses the same images basicaly as the former album but distorted and zoomed in. i like the psychadelicness of the whole image and how it kind of looks like layers as it looks like the images are cut outs. the fourth album is are you experienced and on this album too i like the colours which seem to be included on most of his albums (pink and yellow). i also like how the picture is spherical and looks like there are looking out of a crystal ball. the fifth is a best of album cover and it is very simple and there isnt much to say i just like his costume, i really ;like the 60's psychedelic look. and finally the 6th is a blues album by jimi hendrix and i dont know much about blues artists, btu looks as if he has blues artists collaged into his hair and face with pop art used on each. i really like this album cover as i wanted to use a similar effect on my music video with squares and people in them with bright colours, so if i used something along the same lines as this for my album cover it would link in perfectly.
