This is the single cover for the song I have chosen for my coursework (Ed Sheeran- Give me love). I like the fact that the artist is not on the cover and the actor in the music video is on it instead. This is a good idea and is one that I will use when thinking about creating my own single cover because the artist of the song does not appear in my music video, it is just actors therefore it will look effective if use this technique, as it links the music video with the album cover. I also like the fact that you can not see the face of the actor, and their back is to the audience, i find it very effective and will consider using this design when creating my own cover.
