CD COVER’S

Anisa Bibi

The name of the album is written in black lettering which ties in with the name. This makes it stand out from the background, also this makes it more pleasing for the audience as they can identify the song much more easier. The glow around the glow also adds to the hypnotic feel as it makes it seem all confusing and gives it a white outline.

Britney Spears is written in gold and most of her outfit is pink. The gold can symbolises her excess wealth yet her pink is considered as a childish girly colour, these colures put together give her all new draws the audience to her as they seem confused by her choice of clothing and colures. Her black hair reminds the audience of the title and it really stands out from the rest of her. Her jet black hair gives her an dark and emotional feel as it draws the readers eyes directly to her. As people do say a women's beauty is in their hair, Britany spears has used that to attract her audience to the CD cover.

The background looks odd as the yellow squares get crooked the further in they get, making it seem weird, fuzzy and slightly hypnotising. It can also remind the audience of the title as before you blackout your vision becomes slightly obscure and weird just like the background. The way Britany is positioned, her hand on her head, on might consider the reason she is doing this is because she is also confused with everything and lost.

The direct eye contact from Britany, creates a involvement with the audience as this gives them a purpose and belonging.

The writing stands out as it is in white with a blue background. The writing is in bold so this also adds to the viewing pleasure for the audience as it is easier to read. The white symbolises innocence, which goes hand in hand with the child as children are innocent.

The writing seems childish and this fits in the album title and this further emphasized by the background as it seems to be drawn by a child as it is random and really colourful.

The blue and white theme is continued in the background as the stars are white and the sky is blue. The artwork is inspired by children’s books from the 1940s and 1970s and this reminds the audience of the title. The use of the planets in the picture suggests that the ‘boy’ knows everything about the universe and it fits in with the title.

The imagery seems very random and unthought-of. However, if you look carefully as the images they all link in as most of them are about the environment, consequently this ties in with the title “ the boy who knew much,” after considering the title as a element also the child has a omniscient feel as the image of the background is set form the sky high above the clouds.

The white writing really stands out against the dark background. In addition to that gives the whole idea of “my own way” a innocent feeling.

Moreover, Jay Sean Is written in lower cased letters, once again this makes him feel inferior towards the audience as he might feel ashamed of going away.

The name is separated from the album name as the writing of the album name is in blue. This fits in with the theme of the album as Jay Sean is on his own literally

as his name is separate.

The positioning of the title is to the left hand side of the cover. This enables the shop keepers to place this correctly with a clear view of the song album visible.

On the contrary, one must believe also that he might be leaning in to hear something, this gives the audience and involvement again as it portrays the idea that Jay Sean wants to hear what you are saying, such as advise.

Jay Sean black top, is seemed quite dominant as it stands out from the background even more.

In the picture Jay Sean is looking down, suggesting he is unsure of himself and cannot face other people. He also looks sad and alone and this is reinforced as his picture stands out from the background as the background is a blur. This could also show that everything else is not important only he is, putting more emphasis on him.
