This is for my A2 media coursework

1. Album cover analysis
- Gorillaz

2. All of the characters on this album cover
all made to look like cartoon gorillas
because of their facial features. Also they
are made to look like each band
member.
All of the characters are
presented in a different
colour to signify that
they are all different and
that they can be seen as
a multi racial group.
Each of the band
members are shown
individually, they are
shown in a white box
which allows them to
stand out easily to the
audience. This shows
that they are all of equal
importance,
The titles on this album cover are
very similar to each other, however
the only difference is the size of
text in which they are shown, the
name of the band is shown in a
larger text and this is because the
name of the band needs to stand
out to the audience and grab their
attention first because the name of
the album is not as important and
will not persuade them to buy it as
much as the band name would.
This is also shown as the name of
the band is at the top with the
album name at the bottom, the
rule of thirds suggests that the
audience will look at the top first
and then to the bottom. Also the
simple white text allows the titles
to stand out and be seen clearly.

3. Many other album covers for this band are shown in a
similar way. This is because the images are shown In
cartoon and the band members are made to look like
gorillas which fits into the name of the band. Here are
some examples of other album covers that they have
released:
