CD cover Research

(front cover)

I have decided to study Adele s over for this as she is the main inspiration trough this hole video as we believe her image reflects her lyrics .As you can see on the cover there is a black and white effect on an image of her face as a base .I believe the black and white effect is a symbol of a curtain mood she carries out trough the hole album . Back and white can be associated with coldness , colorless is as equal to lifeless , an analogy to her having the life dragged out of her by these things she sings about .Her facial expression is very serious , witch is also suggestive of the music genre(blues ) and lyrics .At the same time this front cover show her imagery trademarks ,those being, black ,and false eyelashes.

As in the title , she keeps a continuos house-style trough-out her album over and her dress code , showing allot of colour orientation . As her wardrobe , she only uses a touch of color on a black and white canvas being the rest of her album . The only color is the number which is 21 . Her other house style is naming her albums by numbers Eg:19 and 21.Her album 19 also uses the number in a touch of color with a dark background and white writing just like the album 21.

(back cover)

on the back cover you can see another face shot , in the same black and white effect , keeping a sustain consistency . I have realized that Adele's photography for her album resembles allot to Edward western 's work . A photographer in the that worked earlier in the 1900's, therefore we have decided to use his style of shots variety and his style of editing too .even-though he uses sepia as well as black and white , this is still very atmospheric and incorporating Adele's image very well .YOu can also see the titles of her songs in white ringing as the wring is on the front also and on the rest of her albums. i think she uses white writing on dark backgrounds to suggest her songs are the good things that came out of all of those bad experiences . The silver lining of her clouds.Her face says allot about the album . As it strongly expresses the mood and tone of the music and also her face says that its about her .The barcode is centerlised at the bottom .

(inside covers )

As you can see the inside covers are filled with white writing keeping in theme with the house-style .This writing includes details about the album Things such as titles and producing details to details on people she thanks in response to the production of this product .The background is also keeping in theme as it is non color its in fact a shade .We appreciate the classic style of this inside cover but however we are going to use something a little more imagery and we will combine this style with another inside album cover we have decided to analyze and study .
