This album cover of Lana Del Rey is a mid-shot camera angle. The body angle of the artist is that she is directly looking at the camera. This is as if she is directly looking at her audience. The artist’s facial expression is very subtle and soft. The image is air brushed and the effect is very bright which makes the sky stand out alongside the clouds also the setting is very summery. It looks like she is on top of a building because of the trees and sky showing. Lana Del Rey is a controversial figure and is unique as an artist. The text that is used is basic and in capital letters. The colour of the font “LANA DEL REY” is white and the sky stands out because it being blue but then the opposite is done when the shirt is white and the colour of “BORN TO DIE”. The combination of the text and image goes well together because the name of the artist goes behind the image whereas the name of the album goes before the image. The album was promoted online as well as in magazines. The roses on the CD relates to our music video because it is in a forest and goes with the genre.
FLORENCE + THE MACHINE - LUNGS
This album cover of Florence + the machine is also a mid-shot. The body language of the artist is very angelic and innocent; this is done by how she is looking away from the camera. The artist’s facial expression is subtle and at peace. The image is airbrushed and the effect is a bit cartoon like. She is lying in flowers with petals and leaves which shows the nature side which relates to our music video and the genre. The artist has lungs on her chest that relates to the name of the song. Artist is very nature based which is shown through her music videos and also album covers. The name of the artist “Florence + the machine” is written on the top on the border line of the album cover but not in capitals however the name of the album “LUNGS” is written in a different front but in capitals. The name of the album was put on top of her lungs. The combination of the image and text go well together because of the font used against the image of the artist. The lungs connotes that music and her voice is within her lungs. The colours used work well alongside the theme of nature because she is wearing cream and she is in flowers which show that she might be in a forest. The CD show the images of hands which look like the shame of lungs which relate to the name of the artist same as the back cover. Every song has a number which shows you a part of the lungs in the diagram.
This CD front cover is over dramatic because the costume and the props used. The body language of the artist is very innocent and vibrant because of the colors used, blue and red. The shot type is an extreme long shot. The lightening of the image is a dark but the artists face is bright. The image is highly air brushed this makes it look more appealing to the target audience. The images of the parrots have been edited into the cover. This is effective because the color contrasts work well and mainly because it looks like she is falling, fall to grace. This image is looks very nature based which is similar to our music video. The front that is used is very different but matches the abstract image yet the “fall to grace” is very simple. The font of the writing is white which makes it stand out. The effect of this image is quite dark yet the artist stands out because of the dark red and blue. Paloma Faith has very extravagant album covers. The text stands out against the dark background because it is in white.
