Artwork Analysis continued...




The final piece of artwork we viewed was 'My Chemical Romance' who are a band which play similar music to our genre we have chosen, we found this piece to useful as well because it's a CD cover which has lots of connotations and is a good example of what our artwork could look like as we are using a similar storyline.
