phil collins


This is the cover of Phil Collins latest album 'going back'. The picture is in black and white which could show the 'olden days' which he is singing about his childhood in his newest song. On the cover is a photo of Phil when he was in his youth- again it shows the irony of the name of the album, song and his famous drum playing.

Phil Collins is a very famous artist for his Motown inspired songs and his skills at drumming. He has won seven Grammies, two golden globes and an Oscar. Phil has also sold 100 million solo records and 150 million with Genesis.





This is the cover of Phil Collins album of 'the very best of'. Again the cover of his album has Phil Collins himself and his famous drums and it shows an 70's-80's theme... he become most recognisable in those times.



Both of these images are very similar, they both have Phil in the same position of him sitting down with the drum. The images are also shot in thirds both vertically and horizontally. There are a few differences in the covers like one was taken in the studio and the other taken on site. One cover is black and white and 'The very best of' is colour.
