Research into album covers

Kate Nash- Made of Bricks
This album features a lot of songs which are similair to dafodils. Kate Nash is a popular British artist, which is why we felt that doing some research into her album cover would be helpful to us when designing one for our song.

Analysis:

- Colourful. Lots of bright colour have been used in the album cover. This makes it look cheerful and happy. By using the bright colours it would stand out amongst a lot of albumns in a shop.

- Fun Clear Title. The font used for the title is fun and stands out. It is quite a girly font. It's clear and easy to read, which would be helpful to the customers.

Overall this albumn cover is very happy. Instead of focusing on purely the artist, it gives us some idea of what to expect to be on the albumn- upbeat, happy, girly songs.

Adele- 19 Adele is another young popular British artist. Her songs are popular, like Charlene she has a unique style. The albumn cover is completely different to Kate Nash's.

Analysis:

- Black and white themed. This albumn cover uses a black background and white music, this gives it a very mature look.

- Clear font. Like Kate Nash's cover the font is very easy to read, using the white on the back means it is clear and stands out.

- Main focus on artist. Adele is the main feature of the albumn cover. She comes across as quite upset suggesting that her music is going to be quite slow and mellow.

Overall the albumn is quite bold and mature. The main focus being on the artist themselves.

Ideas which are helpful:

• Clear font


• A picture of the artist

These are helpful to the customers who will buy the albumn because if the font is clear to read it is easy for the customers to find the albumn which they are looking for, also with the picture of the artist it allows the customers to find the albumn. Another idea would be to create an artistic albumn cover with a different kind of look about it so that it would stand out in the shop.
