What are your feelings on CD covers?
Specificaly,
what makes a CD cover stand out from the crowd?
If there were a pile of CDs by unknown artists in front of you what would make you pick one of them up?
Bright colours?
Good looking male/female on the cover?
Striking image(s)?
Naked flesh?
It's all very well for artists on major labels to have 'obscure' front covers (they can rely on promotion and their name being known), but an indie artist needs to get his/her CD picked up and examined. The font cover is arguably as important as the title, maybe more so because you see the artwork first, before the title (or any other text).
What cover art gets your CD ahead of the pack and noticed?
Any views/tips...
