As this album cover is promoting Girls Aloud's 'Greatest hits' the font is bold and also keeps consistent all the time. The Tambourine could symbolise the words greatest hits as they are instruments that are loud so again could promote the Girls as they are successful in their band. The black squares which are made to look maybe like a dance floor can be seen as a pathway to new and brighter directions for the Girls, as when a band usually releases their greatest hits album, they go on a break and do separate things for their own careers. The five stars are striking out of the album cover, which represent the 5 of the girls. The 'British flag' star could be seen as Cheryl, as to women and teenagers, she is seen as a British icon and the most popular member of the group. Also the orange, white and green star could represent Nadine in the band as she is Irish which again could promote her individually as a person. The girls are not actually on the cover as an image, but silhouette, which proves that they don't necessarily need to promote themselves as they are already known all over Britain. Also the silhouettes are stood in a pose which could attract a male audience as they are stood in a way people will like. The name of the album 'The sound of' is can also be linked with Girls Aloud, as their first single was called ' The Sound Of The Underground' which can signify their progress throughout the bands career and show the progress they have made from their first single. The girls are seen as a POP band, so the bright lights at either side of the silhouettes and the five microphones behind them can link them to the genre of music that they promote as they are objects that are associated with that genre.
