This album was released in August, 2008 by Interscope Records. Lady GaGas brand image is very unusual. Usually the demographic aimed at teenagers would recognise her for her lightening bolt down the side of her face. Yet this album cover you can see half of the sunglasses have diamonds and the other half has ‘The Fame’ written on it. This may be to symbolize wealth and power which comes with fame. Also these sunglasses emphasise her unique fashion style as each music video she has been in she has worn something outrageous for example in her music video ‘Telephone’ she wore a blue headdress made out of telephones. I really like this album cover as its striking the unusual sunglasses draw you in straight away. Also the minimalist text at the bottom looks classy which again will appeal to her demographic.
Biffy Clryo Album - Puzzle
Biffy Clyro’s Album ‘Puzzle’ This is a very clever album cover as it is a man made out of a puzzle with something missing. The text at the top left is quite small but bold and stands out. The way the man is sitting in this particular image looks as If he is worried. This may be to do with a relationship that he can’t understand. Because the image is side on it is unusual as most album covers have face on covers and close ups.
Rihanna Album - Umbrella
Rihanna’s album cover Umbrella is very effective and obviously links to the song ‘Umbrella’ as there is an umbrella in the image and water. I really like this album cover as it makes her look feisty and interesting. Also the use of her costume white and black makes it as though she has two sides one good and one bad. Also the fact that she isn’t using her umbrella when there is water shows she has strength. Rihanna written in red makes her name stand out but I’m not sure on the colour they have chosen as it doesn’t go with the image. Her demographic would be teenagers as she is a young contemporary artist and her songs reflect relationships which is what a lot of teenagers can relate too.
