The document evaluates and compares the positive and negative aspects of three CD covers: Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream", Miley Cyrus' "Can't Be Tamed", and Taylor Swift's "Love Story". For Katy Perry, the consistent theme and readable font are positives, while the unclear text and mixed fonts are negatives. For Miley Cyrus, the wild imagery relates to the album title, while there are too many empty spaces. For Taylor Swift, the fairy tale style and focus on the artist are positives, but the forced pose and text placement are negatives.

1. CD COVER EVALUATION
By Rachel Bloomfield

2. KATY PERRY -TEENAGE DREAM
Positive points
 The cover relates to both males and
females as it uses stereotypical
feminine colours (pink and baby
blue). It relates to males as there is
typical thing that teenage boys like
e.g. Candy floss and pretty girls.
 The whole CD cover theme is linked
in through out.
 There are few empty gaps left blank.
 The font of the text links in with
the theme and what the text actually
says.

3. KATY PERRY -TEENAGE DREAM
Negative points
 The text at the bottom of the cover is
quite hard to read as its not too clear.
 Two different fonts are used this could
be seen as negative.
 Katy’s body looks posed but her hands
do not meaning it looks like she is
slightly sloched.

4. MILEY CYRUS – CANT BE TAMED
Positive points
 The album is called cant be tamed, this
is represented on the cover as she is
wearing all leather and a belly top this
is what rebellious people would wear
meaning she cant be tamed.
 She also has wild hair like a lion, and a
lion cant be tamed relating it back to
the albums name.
 The font also has the effect of a
printed piece with parts missing, this is
a wild looking font also relating back
to the name.

5. MILEY CYRUS – CANT BE TAMED
Negative points
 There is a lot of empty spaces on
the cover making it look a bit bare
and empty.
 The lighting used is mixed so it
looks a bit mismatched.
 Its very “out there” and could be
perseeved in the wrong way.

6. TAYLOR SWIFT – LOVE STORY
Positive points
 The single is named Love Story, it
supposed to be like a fairy tale. There
is fancy posh writing for the font of
the text this connotes a fairy tale
style.
 There is a slim line border around
the artists name this is also posh and
connotes fairy tales.
 Her costume also links back to the
theme as well as the location it is set
in linking back as well.
 The lighting used helps you focus on
the musician instead of the text and
makes it eye catching.

7. TAYLOR SWIFT – LOVE STORY
Negative Points
 The pose looks forced and
unnatural decreasing the
effectiveness of the cover.
 The text over laps and looks as
though it should be positioned
further up the cover.
 The artist isn’t looking at the
camera meaning its not as eye
catching to the target audience and
it is not as effective.
