2. This is a Album cover for the Vance Joy Album cover. Vance
Joy is an Indie/Alternative Rock singer. Therefore this album God
Loves you when youre dancing has very specific illustrations of a
vintage and old look. The cover relates perfectly to the music
genre therefore I have chosen to analyse this album cover as it
suits the Indie style very clearly. This research gave me great
ideas when constructing theThis City album cover. This made me
choose to add different types of layers and also add a worn out
title which will support the look we are trying to put across and
attract a specific target audience, which are indie/rock music
fans. 3. Firstly, This album cover uses a range of textures to
create a vintage style emphasising the indie music genre. This
creates a look that the album is old and worn out. The scratchy
texture is the most dominant subject in this album cover and it
even covers the lead singers face. This could amplify the
importance of the vintage style in the indie music genre. This also
links to the music videos riptide as there are no meat shots used
of Vance joy. I have noticed that this is popular in the indie
music genre. This could be because the music could be considered
more important than the advertisement of the artist.The Fashion
style in this album cover is also very specific as Vance Joy is
wearing a vintage looking shirt, jeans and brown shoes. This
fashion style suits the indie music genre as it is very casual but
also elegant. The title is a white font which is also has a worn
out style and rough edges. However the God loves you when youre
dancing Is a simple font which compliment well with the background
and also controls the album cover not looking too messy. 4. The
colours used in this album cover are very light and sepia. The
colour from the background (road and grass) blends really well with
the textures and you can tell that the saturation was lowered so
its not too vibrant which creates this sepia and vintage look. It
also looks like the edges were slightly darkened, which is
purposely done to create a sense that the album is old. I think the
burn tool in Photoshop is very useful and it creates a really fine
burn effect on the edges, I will definitely be using this tool when
constructing my album cover.
