Famous Album Art Analysis.

What made this album art successful and why does it stand out/suit the artist?

- Overall, Birdy as an artist, has as calm, relaxing, sometimes depressing, indie feel. This is shown fairly clearly in her album artwork.

-The music is simple and easy going, and this is shown through the fact that the cover is relatively simple. She is standing on her own in an old fashioned worn out room, wearing simple, un-glamorous clothing.

-The artwork also has an old fashioned feel to it, and this is created through the use of background, as she is standing in what seems a very old fashioned, tatty room.

-The simplicity of her name, 'Birdy' in the corner of the artwork, adds to the whole simple atmosphere. The use of font is very effective, as it is clear, and to the point, exactly like the picture.

Unlike Birdy, Nicki Minaj is an outgoing, 'in your face' artist, and this is clearly shown in this album cover.

-The album is called 'Pink Friday' and to portray this, the album cover is almost completely pink, including her dress, shoes and hair.

-To show that she is an outgoing artist they have made her legs seem extremely long and plastic, and this also adds to her 'alter-ego', as she views herself as 'barbie'. They show this by making her look plastic and fake.

- A rather simple font is used to state the name and album, yet the word 'pink', is written in pink and looks as if it is handwritten.



Similarly to Nicki Minaj, LMFAO are extrememly outgoing artists that like to make an impact and cause controversy. Their songs are often about partying, getting with girls, alcohol and getting drunk, and we see this as soon as we look at this album cover.

-The fact that both their faces are squashed and confused looking gives the impression that they are drunk, and this suits most of their songs, and videos as they are often acting drunk.

-Their faces are next to a girls stomach, and this girl has a tattoo of their album name. Not only is this an interesting way of showing the album name, but it also suggests that they have that, 'live on the edge' party attitude. The font of the tattoo, is sharp looking and looks as if it has been somewhat handwritten, making them come accross as 'edgy'.
