The main image on the album cover is eye-catching and intended to promote the artist, with the album title kept relatively small. The medium long shot depicts the artist at eye level from the waist up in a seductive and confident pose wearing only candy-themed pasties to play on themes of sexuality and innocence during the peak teenage years that the album title references. Additional features like a cotton candy scent on the album sleeve are aimed at attracting teenage audiences through novelty and connecting the candy theme to relationships and sexuality at that life stage.
1. The main imagine on this album is the most eye catching image and is the selling
point. Like the Rihanna album the album title is relatively small in comparison to
the main image, allowing the audience to mainly focus on the artist and for the
artist to be known for herself. The shot of the image is a medium long shot and is
at eye level this allows for the audience to connect with the artist and allows her
whole body to be shown which indicates her seductive side which adds to her
nakedness. It could also show her confidence and how comfortable she is with
her own skin. The album title related to the image as during the teenage years
are the peak age where sexuality takes place and relationship is at peak.
The whole candy theme, could have many representations, it could represent
sexuality but also represent the sweet teenage years and innocence at the same
time as sexuality and seductiveness. This immediately grabs the attention of
teenagers due to many reason such as the album title, the candy themed album
and the well-known Katy Perry. As I have bought this album I also know that on
the sleeve of the album there is a cotton candy scent, which could also attract the
audience’s attention and encourage to buy the album as this is something new
and different.
