Album cover research


The album cover is quite clever because it has got the main two people involved in the group singing which is important because people will be looking for people that they recognise when they are buying an album. Having the two people on the front cover makes t easier for people buying their album to recognise whose album it is and encourage them to buy it. In case people buying the album wasn't aware of what the people looked like they have got the name of themselves on the front (Rizzle Kicks) to ensure that people are able to notice immediately who it is by and just pick out the album because the writing is in quite a big bold font and is contrasting slightly with the background colours to make it stick out from the rest of the album cover. It also has the album name in a smaller font below the name because it is less important because people are less likely to be aware of the album name when searching for it, however they have but it on so that perhaps people become more aware of the album name. This is also in  a quite contrasting colour to the background it is on to make it seem more bold and stand out off the cover and catch somebodies eye. The background of the CD cover is animated and is of what looks like to be just buildings and a fence. Having it animated gives the impression that they are quite new because they are using the full effects on offer for them to use and make them look quite individual to other people in this genre to make them stand out and attract more audience attention.


The album cover for Tinchy Stryder and Dappy is really simply taken but the background imaging and some of the objects used would be really difficult to get to and use. The main object you see in the shot is the two people people who have done the song stood on a boat looking forwards which is making a statement that they are both really successful because they have been able to afford a boat and stand head on making it seem as if it is i the ordinary that they can just get a boat whenever they want to making it clear they have the money to get and have all of these luxuries. The background looks like they have taken the boat out and are just sailing around wherever they want because they can through the amount of money they have.



This alum cover is quite diffrent from the other two because it has no basic theme ot it and the background does not help to indicate what genre of music it could be. However it is a very good album cover because of the variety of dfferent pictures that are on the front that have been made out to fill the cover in the shape of a grid. Each square on the grid has an image of the artist doing something in each, but it is different in each one making it look quite an interesting cover because it makes you want to look at and see what is happening in each different shot/square on the cover. It clearly has the name of the artist on the top of thhe cover to make  it clear to the audience whose album it is and it also has the album name, but in a smaller less noticable font because an audience member is more likely to know the name of the artist than the album name. It looks as if quite a lot of effort has been put into the album cover because he is in a different piece of clothing in each of the shots on the front and is doing something different making it look more appealing to an audience member becuase it looks quite interestnig and different to other albums which could also make it catch an audience members eye more as well.
