Analysing album covers

Analysing Album Covers

 Today in class we were analysing album development from the start of the Artist career to the present. We found significant differences in the way it was presented.  The very first artist album, focuses on the artist identity. ( The face was clearly shown, full name of the artist was clearly written) Through the development of the album, there may be key representation that the artist may keep consistent. For example the colour pink is now related to Nicky Minaj. If there is a change to the identity, it could be due to the change of style in the music album. For example up to " Speak Now" --Taylor Swift's album, she was presented as young and naive. ( Done through the natural curl hair, clear face and the princess theme (font)) There was a sudden flip in the album 'Red', her hairstyle and font style was change, her face was covered with shadows and red ( confident, independent, daring) was emphasised. The album red was full on pop, which was different from the past albums. ( There was a mixture of country music, in the previous albums)
