2. The way which
Cheryl's eyes are
looking straight
into the camera is
what will grab the
buyers attention.
Also the flowers
are quite symbolic
to either a funeral
or wedding.
Cheryl looks to be
standing out from
the background as
well it looks like
there is smeared
paint all behind
her which brings
the image more
forward to the
viewer.
The colours which have been used consist of quite dark and negative colours, I believe Cheryl has
chosen this as her songs from this album aren't so jumpy and exciting and are instead more slow
and meaningful. The outside picture is what sells the album and also presents her own emotions
towards her album. I also feel that it makes the album look more mature which therefore appeals
to a different much older audience compared to her normal teenage girls target.
I think that Cheryl has chosen to use a mid shot of her upper body and head to create the impression of a
self portrait. This makes the album become a lot more personal to the buyer as it could come across that
they are purchasing an aspect of her life. Also her choice of net Vail/hat could be seen as a sort of funeral
hat which obviously give a depressive atmosphere.
The colouring of the disk
makes it look like it’s a
shard of glass which could
make it look like it was a
part of Cheryl which has
broken off, also it follows
along from the main
album cover showing a
writing font which looks
like Cheryl has signed it
off herself. The writing is
the main part of this disk
so it stands out compared
to the album cover where
it is written in very small
font at the bottom so that
the image is the main
focal point of the album.
3. This is the inside of the pack, it consists of the name of each of the songs
situated on the disk. Cheryl has wrote about her opinion and why she
produced this track under each name. she has carried on with the same font
from the front of the album. It is still in black and white to carry out with the
theme. I feel Cheryl has chosen to write these comments as it shows more
contact with the viewer and also adds more of a personal aspect to the songs.
There still hasn’t been a sign of a brighter colour. I think she could have made
the pack look a little more exciting as at the moment it dosent look very
appealing as it is just a chunk of writing. And this wouldn’t especially appeal
to a young teenage audience in my opinion. I also feel that the writing is quite
difficult to read. It also features some quotes of the lyrics of each song so this
flows along with the whole album and sums it up with the music.
This is the last photo in
the pack. I feel this
photo summarises the
whole album as it is the
only page which
includes colour. This
could give the
impression that the
album has told her story
and this is her new start.
By this I mean she has
moved on changed her
style and is a lot more
happier and she has
done this by adding lots
more brighter colours
and more exciting poses.
The bright colour of her lips could represent the emotion of a new love
or her love for her music. Another colour aspect could be her bright
brown eyes being lit up meaning that Cheryl is back. In this photo looks
a lot more done up and like a true pop star. This relates back to her
young audience. She also looks quite doll like which is also how a lot of
teens try to influence their styles with( Barbie ) she has used a over
sized prop which could relate back to the album cover where she uses
over sized flowers and head piece.
4. Taylor looks really
young in this
photograph of her. The
way which she is posing
makes her look really
choreographed. The
way her hair is flowing
back also looks very
unnatural along with
her use of lots of make
up. Her pose is again
looking straight into
the camera which could
be seen as dominance
or to get the viewers
attention. She looks as
if she is being blown
backwards into the
wall.
Here we can see again Taylor has chosen to use her own personal font so it looks like she wrote her name
herself across the disk. Also the colour which she has chosen to cover the disk is a dark brown which could
signify maybe a mud or dust? Which is a connotation of the country which also mixes in with her genre of (
country pop ) . I feel her chosen white font stand in well against this colour back ground compared to the album
cover.
Again the writing looks as if Taylor has signed it off herself to make it look more personal.
The background has used a shallow depth of field to make Taylor stand out against the busy background. There
has been a change in font for the title of the album to make it look more serious compared to her name.
although the font for her name has used a more bolder effect which could represent that she is trying to sell her
name more rather than her album.
The white colour in my opinion wasn’t the best choice as almost blends in with her skin tone.
If she were too do it again I feel she should have thought more about her composition and framing.
The picture which she
has added to the disk
its quite cute and
relates to her younger
audience very well.
This hand signal is very
common for this young
aged target audience
to do. Also I feel the
skin colour collides
well with the brown
back ground.
The centre of the heart
could also represent
that the music is a
whole huge part of
Taylors life. Even
though its not clear
who's hand are being
used in this image.
5. Here we can see one of the pages of the digi pack.
It shows Taylor looking very glammed up and not at all country!
But it does show her relating to her audience by using the word “
our “ which shows that she is trying to show as relationship
between her and the audience.
Also she looks to be looking straight at the words which could be
a key for you reading them. I don’t agree that the colour of the
coat going across the screen was at all a good choice as it looks
quite masculine and out of place. The photo again looks quite
posed and set up.
In this image we can see the writing
looks quite chunked out. Its heading
is wrote in a font that makes it look a
lot more child like which also fits in
with the light purple coloured
background which flows with the
rest of the colouring of the album.
Also the music notes signs could
signify music has always been a key
part to her life.
We can see a very old
photo in the centre of
the page which is
clearly Taylors own
photo which she has
taken herself in the
past. She looks very
young and is hanging
with her friend. We
know this is form the
past as they are both
wearing Christmas hats
which has nothing to
do with the album.
Also the writing
around the picture
looks as if she is
annotating it herself.
When really it is just
facts, quotes and lyrics.
I get the impression
that the frame of the
image was inspired by
the ( friends TV show )
which she could also
relate to like many
other teenagers.
