This is the album cover for Black Grape, 1995, which is bold, vivid and eye catching. The fluorescent yellow and large sunglasses dominate the cover and are reflective of the rave/electro genre. The image has been edited to make it look like an Andy Warhol style portrait, famed for his creative and individual art (pop art), therefore also portraying the band as creative and funky. Black Grape were formed by members of 80's band Happy Mondays and their music is known for it's humerous lyrics, 'It's Great When You're Straight...Yeah', title of the album, presenting the band as comical, amusing and lighthearted.
Calvin Harris' album cover is very similar to Black Grape's and again reflects his uptempo/electric music. As Calvin Harris was influenced by music from the 80's, the distinct similiarities between his album cover and that of Black Grape's, (former 80's band members) associates his album and music with electro/dance. The image of Calvin Harris isn't as large, providing room for his name, in a digital/techno font. Calvin Harris' lyrics are also humerous, 'I Get All The Girls', and his album title reflects Clavin Harris' reinvention of disco.
