Looking at Album covers, Posters and DVD covers

For homework i looked at a range of different covers and postrers for artists.

The first album cover i looked at was by 'Pixie Lott.' It is a very simple album cover with just a picture of her on the front with her name below her. As it is just a picture of her looking away with quite messy hair we get the idea that she is young and 'wacky' and just likes making music. Other factors that put this across are the font used, the font used is meant to symbolise handwriting, therefore making the album seem personal. The fact that she hasnt used much technology or striking bright colours gives the effect of a very acoustic, simple album.

The second album cover i looked at was by 'Pete Yorn,' and the album was called 'Scarlett Johansson.'
At a glance of the album cover we straight away get the idea that the music being created is low-key and personal. The album cover looks like an old photo of Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson relaxing and making acoustic music in their own homes. I feel that wha they are wearing gives this away, Scarlett Johansson who is a famouse actress and normally very glamourous is wearing a baggy wooly jumper.
