When looking at albums covers to analyse, i haven't stuck to covers which comply to the genre me and Emma have chosen, the covers i have chosen, i have chose because they are aesthetically pleasing, and use colour schemes which compliment the colour within the picture of the artist, which is something i wish to achieve when making the album cover for Eve T.
The first CD cover i'm analyzing is pop/R'n'B/soul artist Jessie J's album 'Who You Are'. The use of image in this cover comes across very effectively as the image is centralized and Jessie J's facial expression creates the element of direct address, the colour scheme used is a simple gold and black scheme, which i think reflects Jessie J's genre well and doesn't overpower the small space in which it occupates. The layout is very simple, there is just one eye catching image, which fills the space nicely, and the two pieces of text which introduce the artists name and the name of the album/song. There are two different fonts used, in two different colours which creates contrast and adds a hint of colour to the cover, i really like the use of gold in this cover, as it adds a touch of class and glamour to the cover, and breaks up the monochrome element. I like the handwritten style font used for the text, i think it adds a personal aspect to the cover, and creates an overall professional look without alot of detail.
