The cover of clash to me seems very artistic and out there. It follows a more modernist design as it is very simple and all the text is white and sans serif showing its basic. The covers seem to be mainly close ups on the face and they use colours on the face to connote what they are representing. For example one cover the artist has a gold and purple glow on his face showing lust. The cover line to this says 'Devil May Care' this may show he is a bad boy.
Some covers cover the artists face or make it hard to see them for example the Madeline Manson one is a closeup but his faced is blurred. I feel as if this it to show his crazy side as he seems to be quite mental. Another example is the cover with who i assume to be the front man of the 1975 has his faced covered by white block cutting out part of the cover.
Another thing to note which shows the house style is that there is either only one cover lines or none. This helps us focus on the main splash and also reflects modernism.

ReplyDeleteYou have noticed the artistic, anti-stereotypical features of CLASH. You make some perceptive comments on the representations, such as the colours used on 'Devil May Care' and the soft focus on Manson.
With the 1975, I think what is interesting is the upturned face that looks almost saintly.
You notice the bare, clean style. What about the edition number?
