Album covers

If you click onto the image, it will become larger so you can read it :)





































Purity connotations with the baby reaching out at the apple the artist is holding on the right of the image. Also the light blue sky gives off a sense of purity.


Title of the album is ‘Oral Fixation’ this is ironic because the image of the artist is seductive with her holding an apple.


Adam and Eve theme with the apple they were not supposed to eat. The leaves wrapped around her to cover her up and look presentable is what they wore too.


On the actual album which I have looked at, there is a sticker saying ‘includes the new hit single’ and lists three. The text is black on white so it stands out, it is also in bold. They have included this so it attracts the audience with well known successful songs of hers.





The writing on the back of the album saying the title is the colour red. This gives of devilish connotations, also the font gives this image too.Because of all these aspects, it shows a more daring attitude instead of pure.

On the other hand, the back of the album cover is different. The colour of the sky has turned dark to represent night time, the baby has gone and the use of along shot it used for the singer to show her full body. This makes it a less pure image and again, more seductive.

‘Bonus track’ written on the back attracts audience as they believe its something new and extra. The song titles are written in white so they stand out with the dark background.
