Selena Gomez - Stars Dance
Front Cover - Image, Font, Shot Used, Colour, Positioning & Framing
Selena Gomez is a Pop artist and her songs are mainly based about an electronic album, rooted stylistically in pop, dance and dubstep while also containing strong elements of techno and disco.
Her album cover for 'Stars Dance' is in black and pink but the font of the actual album name is in pink in the bottom left of the cover and the font is feminine and it looks to be fading in from the colour of the background to the pink used in her name. The fact her font is bright pink shows that her album is aimed at a female audience.
In the front cover she is placed in the middle with each of her name on either side and the shot used in this image is a mid shot. This shot of her shows only her in the set which nothing in the background and because the background is in black makes it stand out from other pop digipaks as they normally bright coloured.
In the mid shot of her, you can see that there is light reflecting on one side of her which makes her stand out from the dark background but also creates a effect on the image, this grabs the attention of young girls who would buy this album.
Also, the way she is positioned in the frame shows that this is clearly professional photography which looks very well done and creative as her body language is in a pose that a model would do and this symbolises that she is selling herself as an artist but also a fashion idol because of the fact the mise en scene in her clothing is specifically chosen to interlink with the set designs.
CD - Design, Changes, Font & Colour
The design on the CD is in pink, the exact same colour of the font used in the her front cover but what has changed is the font of the her album's title. The font is still the same but they style has changed, it has now become bold and this is used to make it stand out.
The CD looks very feminine as the whole CD is in pink with a font that is used to grabs girls attention. One problem with the CD is that the font is not easy to read because the colour of the font is still in pink except the middle of the words are more brighter, this makes it very difficult to read as the words do not stand out or even appear clearly on the CD.
The single change made to the font on the CD shows that the she likes to change it up a bit to be different and wanted to try and make it stand out.
Back Cover - Framing, Artist's Image, Track list, Colour & Font
The back cover is just like the front cover except now Selena Gomez is in a different pose but is still in the middle of the frame and the shot used to show her is a medium long shot.
On both the left and right side of the cover there is the album track list and the song title is in pink which is used to make the actual song title stand out from the black black background, this is used to grab the audiences attention. The font used is the same font throughout the digipak which is something we are planning to do as it is a good effect.
The artist has the same effect on her just like the one on the front cover, the light reflecting effect. This is also used to stand out from mainly the black to make the other artists stand out so the audience may recognise the other artists and the may like them for before.
