Analysis of Blink 182 single covers.

Here are some of Blink 182's key single covers, and how we plan to build on or away from the conventions and influences of these.

Blink 182's big breakout single Dammit. The cover for this looks fairly simple and cheap, even. The image of the band is hidden under the text, which does work but now looks a little dated in my opinion. Our cover will feature a more prominent image of the band, and a more subtle way of including the band and track name.

This single cover shows a good example of their old "toilet" humour. Our track is from current Blink however, so we won't be using anything like this, and the font and colours are in keeping with the conventional 90s pop punk. All simple primary colours. These days, pop punk bands mostly favour darker shades and such.

One of my personal favourites, and a good example of one of our influences. The muted and simple colours are in keeping with new Blink, while the band and track name are integrated in a clever innovative way.

Blink 182's most recent single cover and the best example of the kind of look we want to achieve. While we will be taking photographs, we want elements of hand drawn artwork, and once again, the track name has been cleverly integrated into the image.
