Album cover analysis



Colour analysis- Adele Colours used across Adele’s

Media

The main colour palette of the

singer Adele is black and white.

This is connoting to her

audience that she is serious

about her work and also some

may be old fashioned because

a common stereotype of blackand white is that it is old media.

The black may also suggest that

her songs may contain

sad/depressing lyrics, this is

because black connotes death

and sadness.However she has a splash of

the colour green, drawing your

eye towards that area. This

causes the audience to

remember the piece of media as

it stands out from the background



Colour analysis-

KT Tunstall

Colours used across Adele’s Media

The main colour palette of the singer KT Tunstall is black

and white with coloured accents.

This is connoting to her audience that she is serious

about her work and also some may be old fashioned

because a common stereotype of black and white is that it

is old media. The black may also suggest that her songs

may contain sad/depressing lyrics, this is because black

connotes death and sadness.

However the colour accents can connote joy and

happiness as this singing is what she likes doing and

listening to it may cheer you up. The colours will also

make her more memorable as you will remember the

colours standing out from the black and white

background.



Fonts After researching artists from my music genre I found that autographic/calligraphic/ block

capital letters, which are either modern or old fashioned style, fonts are the mostcommon used for the artists name and song/album title. So using urbanfonts.com I

have found some samples that I feel fit the genre of my artist.

Here are some block capital examples:



Fonts continuedHere are some autographic fonts. I feel these would be applicable as they appear to behand written such as a signature.



Colour s

These colour paletteswould work for myartists as they

include darkcolours (greys andblacks) but thenhave bright colours

to use as accentswhen displayingimages such as
