Analysis of 3 album cover and adverts od same genre

In preperation to making my own digipak as well as my own advert to promote the digipak, I have analysed 3 album covers as well as their adverts to see how they have been designed and see if they have been linked to each other. All 3 digipaks I analysed are related to our genre, electropop.

Album Cover 1

Calvin Harris - I Created Disco

MASSIVE image of the artist's face

Plain yellow background
His name is very clear, big font size, font type gives a techno look which matches the genre
Album name is on, smaler then Artist name
Only 2 colours used (Yellow and Black

 Advert 1

 

Image of whole album cover on advert

Date when it comes out

Amazon website - where you can buy it

You can't really see but it says which albums are included in the album

Colours and font kept the same

Album Cover 2

FrankMusik - Complete Me

 

Plain black background

Close up of artist

Name clear, big and in another plain colour

Album name in a smaller font size

Font the same for both artist name and album name

Advert 2

 Image of whole album cover on advert

Date when it comes out

Webiste of artist

which singles are included in the album

Colours and font kept the same

Quotes shown to show opinions of the album (in yellow)

 Album Cover 3

David Guetta - Nothing But The Beat

Plain red background

White font

Long shot of arist(whole body wearing casual clothes in fashion)

Artist name is in the biggest text size

Album name same font but smaller size

Unfortuanetly i couldn't find the advert for this album but by analysing the other arverts im guessing it would of had an image of the album cover, the release date and also which singles it might included in the album. The information would most likely be in the same font.

THOUGHTS AFTER ANALYSIS

After analysing 3 album covers from artists that are in the same genre as our artist i now have a rough idea to what i would want to include on the front of my album.

I will have an image of the artist, what type of shot im not fully sure yet but most likely to be a close-up of the aritsts face, A plain background with a techno-look font style. The artists name as well as the albums name will be on the cover with the artists name in a bigger font size.

For my advert I am thinking i should have an image of the front of my album like the ones I have analysed have done. Also on my advert I will include the release date, the artists website and also a possitive quote from an institute to show it is a good album.
