Semiotics of colour make him look like a buisnessman

Against a white backdrop it looks powerful and dominant

The colours catch your attention

Dislikes
The dominance may be a bit intimidating

The next subject are the band Metalica


Likes
The composition of characters

They interact by looking at the reader

Create a sense of fun by pulling faces

The dark colours contrast against the background

Dislikes
Nothing

Similar to the other cover is the next subject KISS

Their in theyre normal costumes

Its fun with the poses

The placement of characters gives of a feeling of unity and compactness.

Colours arent very strong

Its quite a weak cover with regards to creating an impresion with covers
