1. For Lady GaGa’s albums, she often uses black and white as the main
colour scheme. There are very few colours on most album covers.
For her albums she is usually seen in a strange way with either her hair
all over the place, with rather weird costumes/make up or with a very
eye catching background. Anyone who knows Lady GaGa knows that
she will most likely have an equally strange look in her video to her
album.
Apart from her ‘Born this way’ album, she makes her name very visible
on all albums. The name of the album isn’t always as large which could
be her trying to make sure you know her name. Another thing that is
noticeable about both the names is that it’s always in capital letters.
‘The Fame’ is the only one that is different by using lower case letters
for the title of the album.
2. The title ‘DNA’ and the name Little Mix on the last 2 albums are
written in a similar font. After their first album they began using the
same font style for their name. The colour of the titles and names are
all very contrasting and bright to the rest of the album cover to stand
out against it and be easily seen.
In every album of theirs we see each member equally which shows
they are part of a group. Their clothes are also similar in the sense
that they all have light coloured costumes or all have dark coloured
costumes. In their last album, they all have patterned costume that
match up to the wall with different patterns behind them.
In each album, they use very bright colours that are very eye catching.
Since they haven’t been around for a very long time, they will want to
grab people’s attention in the shops.
3. Take That’s albums usually are very simple. ‘Nobody else’ being the
exception with a rather elaborate scene. Each album uses images that
are quite bright for lighting.
The name Take That is almost always in capital letters for their
albums. ‘Everything Changes’ uses all Lower case letters for the
name.
On each album the name of the group is larger than the name of the
album making it very clear as to who the group is. In the album
images, we can see that the costumes worn by everyone are very
similar to each other.
4. In all of Olly Murs’ albums we can see that he is the solo artists
because he is the only person we see and he is always in the middle
of the picture.
In his first 3 albums his name is written in a similar way. Except
‘Never been better’ they all use the same font. Each album uses the
same idea of making his name the biggest text. This is so people will
see it’s Olly Murs straight away. Capital letters are mostly used for the
title of the album except the album called ‘Olly Murs’ since it’s the
artists’ name as well. The main colours seen on all his albums is white
or a light grey. It’s usually the background colour. His album ‘Right
place Right time’ has him wearing a white shirt with white text
behind him on a slight blueish grey wall. This one is the odd one out.
Red is common to see in small amounts but not on ‘Never been
better’.
5. For most of The Script’s albums the have used the same font style for
their name. Their first album is different which shows they decided on a
different style after their first album. The title of their albums are
different as there is a variety of sizes. Their first album doesn’t have a
title at all meaning the name of the group is the title of the album. ‘#3’ is
the biggest title they have. For most of their albums they have their
name as the biggest text to show people who the album is by.
For their album covers, they have used darker colours mostly. They have
also decided to have images that mostly don’t feature them. ‘#3’ is the
only album with their faces on it.
‘Science and Faith’ and ‘#3’ are the most alike as they have a very
limited number of colours using black, white, yellow and brown. The
other 2 albums use a larger colour range.
6. For Jessie J’s albums we can clearly see straight away that she uses black
a lot. Her clothes and hair in the first and last albums are black. In her
second album, it’s just the title of the album that’s black.
Gold is another colour used on her albums. In the first it was just for her
name, the second used gold on the hair and earrings and the third has
her wearing golden accessories.
For her last 2 albums, she has used the same font style for her name.
This shows that she has a style now after her first album that she will
keep using. Her name is also rather small in the last 2 albums. In the
second album the title is larger showing people what the albums is called
before they see her name. For this album she may have been relying on
people to know that she had cut her hair and would still recognise her.
For her third album, she is keeping her name the same size but making
the title of the album smaller. This shows that the title of the album isn’t
as important as her name and she wants people to know it’s her now
that she has hair again.
The album ‘Sweet Talker’ also uses a different background colour. In the
first 2 albums it was white but in her last album it’s grey.
7. In Bruno Mars’ album covers, we don’t see him. In the first 2 albums it’s
just illustrations. The last one looks to be a gorilla next to a jukebox.
Each album uses one colour as its main colour. Red, yellow and an off
white are the colours used in the backgrounds.
For his name, the font seems to be different in each cover. This shows that
there isn’t a clear set style for the artist.
The title of each album is always smaller than the name showing that he
wants people to know it’s him that created the album.
