LOOKING AT LOUD ALBUM BY RIHANNA

LOOKING AT MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY BY KANYE WEST

Main Image:

Doesn’t use the gaze, it is a

cartoon image of two ‘humans’

which are abstract. I think that

it stands out because it is so

abstract and different. I also

think that it stands out because

people don’t know who it is.

This kind of thing can only be

done with well established

artists like Kanye West.

Colour Scheme:

The colours used are

Red, Blue, green and

skin colours. I found out

the precise colours by

going onto Photoshop

and clicking the different

colours to see there

exact colour. I think that

these colours work really

well together because

the red stands out. I also

think that they are quite

subtle colours which

works well.

Font:

There is no font on the cover but as people are

aware of Kanye West, fans of his will know that

it’s his album anyway.

Improvements:

I think that maybe the album name needs to be clearer to

the audience because if you were unaware of the album

then you wouldn’t know who’s it was. I also think the image

may freak some people out so I think maybe another

image would be more appropriate but in the same style.

Strengths:

I think that having such an abstract

image attracts the audience to look

at this album because it is very

different from other albums it stands

out and because it doesn't’t have a

name people wonder who’s album it

is which intrigues people into having

and look and seeing what's inside. I

really like the bold red colour and

the contrast of the blue against it

which I think works well. It also

used Kanye West’s signature

colours which are red and yellow.

Weaknesses: I think that

the image isn’t obvious

of who the artist is and

also there is not album

name which means

people can’t tell what it’s

called straight away, they

would need to open it to

see.

MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY ALBUM COVER

Colour Scheme:

The colours used are all quite

similar to the front of the album

however there are less colours.

The colours used are the red which

is the main colour of the front cover

and also the yellow which isn’t in

the album cover but it is almost the

same as the skin colour. I think that

the colours relate to each other

which makes it link together and

therefore makes it work well. Also

the writing is very abstract like the

cover and therefore it works well as

the cover is abstract as well as the

writing.

Track list:

The font of the Track list is very abstract

and quite unreadable but it works really

well. The font is very abstract which links

with the abstract image used on the

cover. Also the fonts are in a square

shape where some of the writing is

bigger and some smaller which I think

works really well.

Improvements:

I think that the writing needs to be neater

in order to be able to read it easier and

this would help with it being more

understandable.

Image:

There is no image on the

back cover which means

there is no obvious relation

with the artist. I think that

this however works really

well because it keeps it

very simple rather than

having it overpowering by

an image.

Strengths: I really like

how there isn’t an image

because it makes the

track list a piece of

artwork itself. I also like

how the colours contrast

each other and how they

are both bright.

BACK OF MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY ALBUM

COVER

Barcode:

The barcode is at the back

of the album, this is put at

the back because it isn’t

aesthetically pleasing

therefore it is hidden at the

back rather than in your

face and in the front. It is

on the side which means

that it’s out of the way

from the writing and so it

isn’t a main focus.

Details:

The names of the songs are

written down in random

places and also the name

of the artist.

IMAGES IN THE ALBUM

Photos:

Images released

before the album to

help with marketing

the album. Could have

been in magazines to

help promote the CD..

Female

Gaze:

This is used

on this

image

which isn’t

the main

image but is

a poster in

the

digipack.

Colour Sheme: The

background colour in the

album is the same

throughout all of the pictures

and the style is the same on

the drawings.
