Analysing CD Cover's

Eliza Doolittle Album Cover

This album uses a large number of animated images, this use of 'pop art' makes the album cover look bright, colourful and fun. This album cover says a lot about the artist herself, instead of a more serious pose, its a lot more fun and quirky showing her extrovert personality. This will definitely appeal to mainstreamers and individuals mainly teenage females as the colours and images used are more feminine. I believe the socio economic status will be middle class.

This album cover focuses on the artist herself, rather than using other images. This album cover does not follow the rules of magazine conventions as the camera shot is indirect. The name of the artist/album is contrasted against her red statement necklace rather than contrasting it against a black background. By using a grey background with a spotlight it illuminates the artist. This again will appeal to mainstreamers however not individuals as there are many album covers similar to this. They are targeting female teenagers and the socio economic status will be middle class.

Razorlight Album Cover

This album is far more simple than the previous two, by using a simplistic design, the buyers will focus directly to the name. The poses of the band members are quite relaxed, as its a more relaxed stance it also appears more masculine. It also highlights the masculinity through the use of colors; black and white, by contrasting these two opposite colour's, the image of the band stands out a lot more. The font used is also very masculine, straight and sharp black letters. This will like the others appeal to mainstream, targeting more of a male audience with middle class background.
