This is an album called Tongue in Cheek by Dizzie Rascal. It is a CD cover.
This has a simple background with a light colour blue with big bold fonts with a bright red and pink text. The text has a stroke of black and a fill of simple colour It makes it looks like a bubble gum theme .  The text takes up most of the space on the cover and Dizzie himself as a photograph in black and white sitting on drawn rock, in a cartoon style. The overall feel of the work is light and fun.

Typographic style

Type design can give your words a (1) voice  It can really add meaning and enhance the (2) message  of your words. For example, on the Dizzie album they have used some really (3) cheeky  and chunky typography here. It not only (4)illustrates  the word but loads it with (5)character  and it's great for someone that has personality like Dizzie. In contrast to this one, I've got the Saturdays album and the typography here is really (6) elegant  and beautifully crafted. It's much much more (7) feminine than the Dizzie one and it works very well with the fashionesque shoot on the front. In total contrast to my last two albums, I've got the Prodigy Dirtchamber sessions. They've used found and (8) distresse type on the front cover and all the way through the album including the booklet where they've hand (9) scratch all the track names into the booklet. And I think this works really beautifully with the (10) mish mash  of music that is on the CD.
