Album cover analysis

This album by James Blunt is his latest realise. I first wanted to look at his album covers because his style of music related to the same style as my music video genre. when looking through his album cover realises I found that this cover, Some king of trouble, best fit to what I wanted. I also intended to make a quite controversial picture. this picture from James Blunt is controversial because of its image, the idea of throwing a baby up in the air is slightly out of the norm way of living. the picture focuses on this point and could hint at a intertextuality of the style of James Blunt music, being controversial or testing the norm. this is the perfect album cover to base my cover on, with the image and the artist being similar to what i want to achieve I think I could use this as a template to creating my own album cover.

Research into Anxillary Task

This album from Take That, includes there usual font type there title. there is also a bright wide range of bright colours within the props amongst the picture. the images include the toys men of the band and the context of every prop in the image. the intertextuality of the image is the resemblance to the beatles album, Sergent Pepper. i think the cover does wok because it is a different take on a classic image in musical albums, this brave decision pays off as it is recognize by most of the public.

This album X and Y, is from coldplay. there is no font on the album cover and this is done because the image and colours link together to create the stylized drawing of the letter X and Y. also there could be a hint with the X and Y relating to the male and female chromosomes. i think that the cover could have used some sort of writing to enhance the effect as the image at first is hard to

grasp with out been told.

This album cover from pink floyd is the album The dark side of the moon. there is also no font or words on this album cover. the colours are those of the rainbow, also hinting at the music style of colourful, also the spectrum hinting at a wide range of a spectrum of music. i think that is a really good album cover, with the popularity of pink floyd at the time it was perfect for them to change the norm with this cover.
