On the 16th March I went to Birmingham for a university visit, I went to the Bullring shopping centre and was greeted with a huge HMV.
Although I was looked at a bit strange, I took loads of pictures of current albums with my genre and just other covers which I liked
Examples :
Rihanna anti
|
This album cover is an abstract cover, It features an almost psychedelic child holding a balloon with a crown placed over his eyes. There is a fierce essence about this image, the contrast between the red and white symbolizes danger, passion and blood. Therefore suggesting it to be one of Rihanna's most deadly albums. |
|
The back cover then features the same child as though the Album is 3D as opposed to being 2D, this could argue to break the fourth wall, by acknowledging that the album usually doesnt show the back of an image, it gives the audience a false sense of reality with this album, this may subliminally suggest that she is a real artist as opposed to the fake ones. |
Marina and the diamonds - the family jewels
|
This image is nice in that, it is very simple, she is clearly photoshopped and is laid down in an unconventional way. This is an image which has been created in order to place the font in a certain way, rather than vice versa. It is just a standard image of the artists taken in a photo studio in order to put the textured vintage background behind her. |
Marina and the diamonds - Electra heart
|
This is a close up shot of the artists, this will be used in order to address the audience directly as opposed to an abstract cover. Marina is more known for her self absorbing in her music so it actually worker for her very well. |
Aesthetically similar to my song and video
