The CD cover for Funeral for a Friends - Memory and Humanity is very more artistic than the Blink 182 album which has a more "simple" look and layout. it features a "ladder" or "DNA" made of roots from the ground which could connote and represent a stairway to heaven. The cover is mostly made up of the colours purple and green and black and this is also carried out and continued through out the CD pack.
Funeral for a Friend are a melodic metal band therefore may use dark colors for their CD covers to fit the stereotypes which come with this genre of music therefore so it can be recognized by fans of the genre straightaway as it will catch their eye and cage their interest to buy the CD.
Inside the cd pack the features a close up shot of the boys eye who also features on the front of the cover. Inside it also features each band members name and what their part in the band is, this feature isn't usually found in CDs and this is an alternative feature which may also represent the band as trying to be a little different and breaking conventions. The Cd is fully black which again fits the stereotype and conventions of a melodic metal band. The text on the CD cover is also black meaning the CD is black on black which makes it a little hard to read.
The back cover of the CD also includes the same art work which is on the front of the CD although this one does not include the boy in the picture. but the colours and parts of the art work and continued through out the CD pack which again is conventional of most genres of cds. Just like the blink 182 cd the songs again are listed in a row rather than a list going downwards which is what we expect to see on cd covers which again may connote that these bands are alternative and are trying to break the stereotypical conventions to show that they are different.
