Album cover research



Album cover of lady gaga taken from google images.
This album cover suggest this could be very emotional, I.e the blue lines coming from her eyes. This also suggest that it could be crazy because all the paint is smudged all over her face in a chaotic way, we are getting lots of message coming form this album cover. The director of the photography are inez and vinoodh they specialise in black and white photography with certain objects in colour they are famous for there work in fashion photography also some independent art commissions. I like this because its emotional, its good to look at because of its strong colour bold colours on the other hand i like the contrast of the black and white with the colours, The shot they have featured here is an extreme close up of the artist.

This album cover suggest its a lot to do with the future the way the 2 helmets are put together also the way the water and the sound waves flowing out, this also suggest its electrical pop which is big these days. i like this because the way them neon colours just strike at you, this also gets me excited to here there songs. The album cover has been designed in some form of software like photoshop to put the two kind of helmets together also the to create the water and sound waves.

Here we see jay-z's new album cover featuring a very famous piece of art work the HOLY GRALE, this suggest his album is very cultural influenced and has a lot to do with Christianity. This also suggest its a powerful album the reason for this is the famous piece of art work was a powerful peace and people who where Christians looked up to this famous piece of art. I like this album cover because you cant see the artist name properly so its hidden so we don't know what to expect its intrigues me so it makes me want to listen to the music, i also like it because you cant judge it the whole point of the hidden text. The photographer has used natural light to his advantage.

This album cover of the fall out boys suggest that its trying to make the world a better place, trying to reunite different  cultures. this also suggest that you get the good who is on the right who believes in Buddhism and follows the rules and the bad guy on the left who smokes and is dressed in black, the gloves also suggest that he fights. On the other hand, we see the two boys holding hands this suggest they support marriage equality so again making the world equal, if we look in the background it looks poor and rundown, bringing in third world countries. They feature a medium full shot for the cover so you get the boys and the back ground is blurred (sallow depth of filed)  so the main subject is the two boys, this looks like all nature light. I like the album cover because the way they have contrasted the two type of boys one good and one bad, i also like the way they have used natural light.
