Main subject very

central

Colour of writing

writing on blue

background blue

writing on white

background.

Long writing mimics

the posture of the

subject.

Direct eye contact

and face direct to

the camera, strong

Title goes behind

head of subject

creates depth

Similar to the front cover the typefaces

bold and strong. Red background links

to the red roses on the cd and white

writing links to the white background on

the cd. Bar code again.

Red roses stand out against the white

background. They each vary in how

much of the rose has been shown on

the cd.

Washed out colours

Direct eye contact

Body not face onto

camera

Natural delicate

colours and tones

of green, white and

peach not bold reds

or purples

Rule of thirds;

middle of her face

on right third and

whole body falls

into right third

Informal balance to

the picture with the

writing to the left in

negative space and

the main subject on

the right side taking up

most of the image

balanceing the image

Background of the back cover similar to the

light patterns from the front covers

but clear.

Black background makes the writing

stand out. Typeface of the artists name

mates the front cover.

Dynamic

lines

throughout

image

Band members have been framed in one

of the windows of the building

Rule of thirds and band are of right third

which is pleasing to the eye draws your eye to

the band

Writing framed by the

pavement

Picture on the back cover links to the theme

of houses and shapes such as windows

shown on the back. Song names all are

divided by lines. Similar to another back

cover I’ve analysed there is the band’s name

and album name has been placed down the

side of the back cover.

The dull grey background links to the colours used on the

front cover with the whites blacks and greys of the street.

The band’s name is at the top of the cd with the same type

face used on the front cover and also the back cover. The

band name and album name divided by same line as the

line used to divide the song names on the back cover.

These both show the consistency of the album.

Artists name childish type face

which shows her personality or

characteristics

Yellow building contrasts the

blue sky and green landscaping

and she stands out in her red

dress

The artist and the house are both not facing camera

which gives a more relaxed feeling to the photo as it

isn’t all directed towards you

Type face of song names the same as the

album name on the front cover. Song name

are not aligned horizontally or vertically but

this demonstrates again the childish nature

to the artist.

The background of the cd cover looks like a

homemade cake which links to the front

cover of the album which is a quaint little

house and a dainty looking girl in a red dress.

Name of CD is

incorporated

into the image

Face of artist is blurred which

draws the attention to the area in

focus which is a tape recorder

which also includes the CD title.

Writing of artist’s name is layered

over the focused area which

creates depth in the image and

draws your eye into the photo.

Direct eye contact

The same woman used on the back cover as

the front cover. Song names all down one

side of the back cover. Similar colours are

used in both images on the front and back.

Black background makes the white writing

stand out. White line around the edge of the

image frames the black. Same type face used

on the front cover for the name as for the cd.
