Analysis of album cover (Digipak)
The image on the left hand side is an album digipak of “Desert Rose” as you can see the digipak is well organisation and structured. The location of where the photographs seems like a remote area, with only dried up, dead trees and leafs, an image of a desert as it states on the album single ‘Desert Rose’. The photo of both her and some male is set outside, what looks outside a house, again the location looks European with the style of the area and its warmth in colour.
The artist’s makeup seems to be fairly natural, keeping it to a minimal. Using colours such as brown, bronze embanking the theme of romance, keeping the makeup very settle but in a way makes it effective towards her viewers.
The colours red-orange correspond to desire, sexual passion. The lightening in this digipak seems to complement each other well. The warmth of the colours seems to build up this theme of romance / love and lust. The usage of such colours are vivid that have a great impact on the potential buyers. The two vivid colours act like a frame as it draws the reader to the darker colours of dark brown placed in the centre. Where the cool blue colours on the front cover make her look even more confident in a sophisticated way, as the black off her costume seems to stand out from clear blue background.
This artists is wearing some kind of a European style costume, I think this because of the embroidery on her black jacket. The significance of this type of costume that she is wearing is quite common if the artist came from such ethnic minorities. My own interpretation as to why she may be wearing such costume would be that she may be religious in a way she may have to cover up and not be out there and revealing, as a majority of female artist tend to wear revealing costumes. The colour of her costume could represent elegance and formality so that she builds up this representation with her audience.
