Album Cover

The album covers I have chosen to look at all have quite a lot of common features. For example they all use bright colours and cartoon images to portray their music.

The first thing i noticed about all of the album covers I had chosen would be that they all are quite colourful and bright and all use cartoon images. This could be portraying the kind of music that each album has. For example this is Paolo Nutini's second album and his music style has slightly changed and is more upbeat compared to his first alum and I think he is trying to portray this thought the cover with the happy bright colours, the eggs are 'sunny side up ' which matches the album title. Their is a rainbow and balloons

in the background and a peace sign and love heart drawn onto the wall, which could link with The Beatles Psychedelic era with peace and love. Mika's album cover is happy and colourful also to po

rtray hi

s music as he is also quite upbeat and cheerful music linking in with The Beatles, Yellow Submarine which was made during a psychedelic time in the 1960's, again portraying the kind of music that the artists are creating.

Another feature these

album covers have in common would be that they all show the artists name and the title of the album. This will be because they are all very well known artists

and want the audience to know that this is their album so people buy it.

The titles are quite large, making it stand out to the audience for example the Mika title stands out because it is in big block capitals in white which stands out in front of the col

ourful background.

All of the album covers don't have a photographic image of the artists on the album covers, this could also be to do with the happy upbeat music and the cartoon images make the album covers quite fun and quirky to match the music

style.
