Activity Two - Part Two
Florence and the Machine
The front cover of the album is quite plain but it gives you enough information. It tells you the artist and title of the album and also has an image of the artist. There isn't alot of detail on the front cover which is quite often the case with indie albums. The image is quite abstract and shows you the music inside could be quite soulful and indie. The back cover gives information of the track names, the record companies and other companies who helped produce it. There is also information on the sleeve of the cover, which tells you the album name and artist.
Other similar artists are:
Lana Del Rey
On this cover the name of the artist is in capital letters and in a large font, it is bigger than the name of the album. This suggests that the artist is more important than the album, it could possibly be because it is her first album under the name of Lana Del Rey and she wants people to notice her. The front cover is quite simple with only three pieces of information her name, her image and the album name. The back cover contains information such as the track names and production companies. The sleeve also features information such as artist, album title and also the record companies.
Kate Nash
The Kate Nash CD cover features the artists name, album title and the artists image. But on this cover there is more detail and the artist is quite small. The image is quite conceptual as you have giant daisies, lots of horse shaped topiary and a cat on the roof of a giant and completely yellow house. I believe that through this image they are trying to tell you about Kate Nash and her style of music. For example she is quite girly as she likes horses and flowers but also has an element of madness as the cat is on the roof. The back cover of this album features the track names and record companies and the sleeve also features the album name, artist and record company logos.
Marina and the Diamonds
Again the front cover emphasizes the artist more than the album as there is a giant picture of her face in the covering the front section and the artists name is bigger than the album name. The back cover of this album case gives you the track names with information of copyright infringement and record companies on the bottom. Also on this case there is an actual image on the back case, it reminds me of being in a foreign country and chilling out which I suspect is the effect they wanted. The sleeve also features information of album title, artist name and logos oc companies that helped to produce the album.
All of these album covers have one thing in common which is that the front covers, the most important part of a CD cover, all feature an image of the artist, the album title and the artists name, which is often bigger than the album title. All these covers are quite simple and plain but get just the right information across, they also tell you about the artist in subtle ways, such as through the images.
