CD Cover Analysis: Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls

- Colour Scheme - Black and white picture and graphic. Some colour used on the band name and song title, this draws the eye to this part of the cover. Contrasting colours with the blue background and red writing connotates lights outside a club or a west end theatre sign.
- Long shot of the two gentlemen striking a "camp" pose, this is quite common of CD covers of this period in time.
- The setting of this cover is very similar to parts of the setting in the video, the walk through tunnel.
- The costume design also fits in with the "camp" look of the video with the long coat, the blouse like shirt and the cowboy neck tie.
- The bright light at the back is edited in to make the scene more contrasting, this is noticible due to the shadows shown from the lights facing the actors.
- The font for this CD cover is the same as most other Pet Shop Boys covers. They have encoorporated the elongated E aswell .
