Ministry of Sound Album Covers

Just trying to get a feel of how the overall design for the Ministry of Sound publications look, these are for their album covers:




































Just a general summary for the album covers is that they are heavily focussed around the ministry of sound logo, and the visual style/theme fits to the genre of music for that album. They are very high impact and eye catching and often use black to contrast with the other highly saturated colours.

The Addicted to Bass series have a much more consistent design throughout, based around the ideas of speakers,

The mash up mix covers have a very particular style, compared to the others, a distorted type face usually involving black and yellow, and is the centre of attention for the design. The background image has some sort of distortion and fits the theme of music whether it be an iPod, headphones, turntables, CD or a casette tape. There is no consistency with the 'Mixed by the Cut Out Boys' text, although in about 3 or 4 there has been a similar style of type. Again with the colour, there is no consistency throughout, however, they are very vivid schemes of colour used.
