9. This is the front cover and the back cover of Adele’s album 21. She’s on both of the covers. The
lighting is low key, which is often used for sad and dark photographs. The body language of Adele
on the front cover, connotes that she’s also relaxing. The low key lighting gives the album a
serious, thoughtful atmosphere. Perhaps also sad too, no colour was used. Her eyes are
closed, she not looking at the camera compared to some artists do on their front cover. The
album name, “Adele 21” is placed underneath Adele in the right corner. Covering the space
where her hair is placed.
Adele is staring right out at us, drawing us in as she looks directly at the camera. Drawing the
audience in. The photograph is still dark; low key lighting. She looks serious, as she stares. The
title of the songs are placed on the left of the cover. The titles are in capital letters, and in white.
Making them noticeable for the audience. Again, this album also follows a typical conventional
album layout. For our album cover, we want the front cover to connect with the back cover. We
have discussed using the studio for our images, and because the song ‘Take it all away’ is about
heart break we thought we could try something similar to this, maybe.
