Album name is in a font that goes with single name

'Shower' which makes it stand out and obvious what the single is about. It also in capitals as well which can show that the artist wants to stand out from

the crowd. Artists that do pop music also, make their albums stand out from the rest. Such as Demi Lovato

her latest album cover too, the font is in capitals and it is eye catching and stands

out.

Album image of the artist is in the middle of the album which makes

her the main focus. Also, by there being no font over her image shows

that she wants to be the main focus. Also,

seeming that she is a new artist she probably wants people to notice her and to see what she

is about. Also, comparing this to other

pop albums this is usually the case. They

are portrayed in an eye catching way.

Becky G – Shower

Also, the artist’s name on the front of the album ‘Becky G’

which is her artist name. The font is not as eye catching as the

single name which shows that the single is probably more

important.

The main colours used on this album is a pale yellow, red

and black. And the font looks as if it has been illustrated on this can represent how she is

is still young. And it can represent youth.

The clothing that this artist is wearing is very youthful and

something that a lot of young teenagers may wear today. This is

something that her target audience may like. They may also relate to

the artist too.

Becky G – Shower

The artist, in this music video, her style and makeup is very youthful and this links to the style of her album cover. She is also wearing similar clothing to what she is wearing in the album cover. This shows how also, her image is

very youthful and something that young teenagers would probably wear today.

Album cover name is different because instead of the basic album artist name and the single name there is ‘presents’ and ‘featuring’ on

the album cover. Which makes this album different

and makes it stand out from the rest. Also, seeming afrobeats is a seen as a

different genre from pop and etc, this goes well.

The artist’s album image takes up one side of the album cover while the

other side of the album is the font. However, still the artist’s image is still

eye catching and the main focus somehow. Also, seeming that the

image is close up can help us see the artist’s image even more clearer.

Also, for this genre many artists have their image on the front cover. This is

typical convention that is used.

The colours used in this is purple, cream and black.

This is including her makeup, she is also using

these colours. This can show that the artists's style is very important and seeming that

the album cover colours match her makeup can show

that the artist is very important and also her

image is very important.

The makeup on the artist links to her album cover. She has makeup that is glamourous. And this is part of her image, also seeming that this is on her album cover.

Lola Rae Feat. Iyanya – Fi Mi Le

Mapei – Don’t WaitThe Artist's name is near the

bottom of the album including the name of the artists song. The artist's name is bigger than the

single name. Considering that she is a new artist, she may want to make sure see is recognised as an artist.

The artist is in the middle of the page and she is the main

focus. She is also wearing simple clothing and she is

against a plain background. This also makes her the

main focus. Seeming that this single is a mixture of hip hop and pop she may have wanting to do something different such as have a

simple album cover.

The background of the album is very plain and

looks like a dusty white. This can show that she wants to be the main focus and can show she is not revealing

much about her self. Which makes the audience want to perhaps listen to her music

and get to know more about this artist.

Also the colours that are used for her name and the single name is bold and the colours red and

black are used. This makes her album single stand

out to the audience. Also, seeming the font is simple

and clear can make people maybe interested to know more about this

artist.

Mapei – Don’t Wait

The main artist's style in this music video is very unique, hipster and edgy. This links to her album where the style is different and unique. This can show how this is part of her image.

Elle Varner – Only Wanna Give It To YouThe artist's name is bigger than the album name. THis

may also be because she is a new artist and she wants to

be well known. The artist name is also in a cool font

which can show she is fashionable, different and unique. However, the font sort of fades when on the artist's image which can

mean artist herself want to be the main focus.

The artist is shown in the middle of the album. She is the main focus along with

her name on the album. This can mean she wants to be

the main focus and she wants her image along with her name to be known. The artist is also looking to the

side instead of to her audience. This can maybe show that she is different,

because usually it is the artist facing the front of the

album and maybe being able to have eye contact with the audience. Or it

might connate that because she is a new artist she still has more to show. THat might be why she is not

facing the audience.

The main colours used in the album is pink, blue and

white. This can hint what to expect from the album. Such

as pink showing love, blue showing sadness and white

showing innocence or purity.

Elle Varner – Only Wanna Give It To You

The artist in this music video, she her image is very loud and bright. This links to her album where she is not facing the front and she is being different. This may be something that is part of her image.
