There For Tomorrow 'Pages' Album Analysis


There For Tomorrow album covers were quite a large influence on my ancillary media products from their text affects to their dominating background colours. I particularly liked the repeating of the text on the Page's Album (Right top image) and therefore employed it into one of my own album booklet pages.

However to concentrate on the 'Pages' album (right) I would say it suits the name very well. The cover has a repeating text affect of the name of the band on top of an image of pages being thrown in the air in a chaotic fashion suiting the Indie / Rock music. The blankness of the sheets equal just that, a page, which can contain anything but without reading it you do not know what.

I think this kind of artwork would appeal to their target audience as it is different from the norm and via it's striking green colour it will stand out against the more darker traditional rock album covers. The target audience would be mainly male based with the age range of 16-25 similar to that of Blighters. This is due to the fact quite a bit of the music is slightly 'screamo' with a strained voice singing.

The lettering of the band while being very straight forward also relates to that of the name of the Album. The majority of pages you pick up from books to magazines are made in very basic fonts such as Arial or Times New Roman such as the above.

I do feel that this CD connotes a confused mind, similar to that of the bands music, while also showing the uniqueness and artistic values of theirs. Overall I found this cover to be extremely inspirational in my own work, and when comparing it to my work you can see some large similarities employed.
