K-pop Album Covers

BIGBANG – The MADE Series

o The group BIGBANG released 4 singles over 2015 with their comeback, with the whole thing being called the MADE series. All four of the albums are the same just different colour schemes, and when they are put together make to word MADE. There are 5 stripes on the albums which represent the 5 members of the group. They haven’t put the name BIGBANG on the covers at all which can show that the are confident that people will know it is their album just from all the publicity they get.

GOT7 – Just Right The album cover for GOT7’s Just Right mini

album uses very bright and blocky colours. The blue background makes the hand and text stand out and catches your attention. The name of the group is clear, but it is very small compared to the title of the album. the photo of one of the members hands making the ‘OK’ sign links to the title track. Overall the album is very simple.

BTS – The Most Beautiful Moment in Life pt.1 and pt.2

The group BTS or Bangtan Boys, released 2 mini albums in 2015, called The Most Beautiful Moment in Life pt 1 and 2. they are simple designs showing falling petals and on the pt2 album a butterfly representing one of the songs on the album. They have put the names of the group and album on but they are very small and also simple. The albums go with the image the group was presenting at the time of release; their concept. They wanted a slow, tranquil sort of feel.
