Album cover researchCalum McConnachie

Tom Jones is a legend when

it comes to love songs with

classic hits like, It’s Not

Unusual, Kiss, and Love Me

Tonight. This album cover is

quite striking because it has

a big picture of Tom, who

was considered a very

attractive man, staring out at

the audience which help to

interact with the audience.

This would’ve been a very

desirable album to buy

mainly by women when it

was released and this is

effectively shown by having

the big picture of time with

eye catching colours around

him.

This album cover of Ronan

Keating is quite similar to

the last one because it is

pretty much just an image of

Ronan Keating with his

name and the title of the

album. The only real

difference is that the

background is completely

black therefore he stands

out more and he is the first

thing you notice. Again he is

staring straight out at the

audience to entice

them, and again Ronan is

considered an attractive

man so this will appeal

strongly to females looking

for something to listen to.

This album cover by

Coldplay subverts all the

stereotypes of a common

romantic album cover

because it hasn’t got a

picture of a person on

the front but instead an

globe. This is an eye

catching album cover

because with the globe

being a bright orange it

stands out strongly

against the black

background. This will

attract people because

they will be interested by

the image and might

want to hear the music

on it.

This is a common looking

album cover by Leona Lewis

because almost all of her

album covers are of just her

face taking up almost the

whole page. This is eye

catching because she stands

against the dark background.

One of the first things you

notice about this image is her

eyes which are also just

staring out at the audience to

engage the viewer. She is a

very attractive woman so this

will not only appeal to women

but men will also want to buy

it too.
