1. Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream album features her laying on a cloud of candy floss. This links to the
video ‘California Gurls’ as the whole video shows a sweets and candy board game. A more direct
link is when the video shows Katy Perry on the cloud of candy floss. She has a different hairstyle
and is facing the opposite way but they’re the only differences for that scene.

One girl has candy floss
on her head.

2. On this album, there is lots of pink since the majority of the album is covered in candy floss.
When we see the music video we see lots of pinks for the different sweets as well as reds and
whites which we can see on the album title. In the video we see Katy Perry climb some candy
canes which have the same stripe pattern as the title of the album.
Uses red and white stripes

3. Looking at the rest of the songs on her album, quite a few use rather bright colours or have a lot
happening in them. 'California Gurls' is both colourful and would have cost a lot to create
because of the amount of CGI. 'E.T.' and 'Wide Awake' both use CGI and would have cost a large
amount of money to make.
'One of the Boys' was the album before 'Teenage Dream'. The songs on that album don't use
very much (if any) CGI. This is a rather large change between the videos for these albums.
CGI for snakes
E.T.’s CGI
Wide Awake’s CGI

4. One thing that hasn't changed between the 2 albums is her placement in the picture. Her full
body is shown in the middle with a large amount of the surroundings shown. In her album
'Prism', she changed to have only the top half of her in the artwork but still shows some of her
surroundings behind her. The way her name is written on her ‘Prism’ album is also different to
her other 2 albums.

5. Katy Perry had an album before ‘one of the boys’. She used her real name Katy Hudson and
created a Christian rock album. However it failed to chart in any music market and didn’t sell
more than roughly 200 copies. She then signed with Capitol Records and created her next album
‘One of the Boys’. Now she is a pop artist that sells millions of copies and makes into the charts
often.

6. The merchandise made for this album was mainly clothing that features the titles of different
songs as well as Katy Perry’s name in the same style as her album cover. The clothes have bright
colours, including pink, that shows a link between the album and the clothes. Most of the
clothes are very feminine which shows that Katy Perry targets the female fans for most of the
clothes.
The hoodie in particular shows pink at the bottom and blue at the top. This resembles the
album cover as the candy floss is at the bottom with a blue sky at the top.
The black top shows some contrast as it’s black and not white but still uses the pink and blue
seen on the album so it definitely shows the link. It also has the same font as the album as the
writing has drips on it.
