Album Artwork

Album marlowe "It's turing me on"- debut EP

1.I think this is for an Artist because it is a single female suggesting a soloist, I think the girl in the image is pretty individual and isolated therefore I think this would be singles Artist.

2. I think they are organic because it is an everyday drawing and simplistic, suggesting any one could do it. Not only this but the colour is a deep red which suggests raw emotions of either love or anger but revealing it is a true example of something real making it organic.

3.Indie Pop – because it is abstract and different from other albums the colour connotes love and or anger overall showing the intensity of emotion that the music holds.

4.I don’t particularly like how it is block red with colour as it is a bit too harsh and doesn’t particularly stand out, which is what an album cover is meant to do to entice the consumer.

 Album 2. marlowe darksparklecorner" debut album 

1.This particular album cover suggests a Boy Band because it is weird, and unexpected.  

2.It continues to be Organic because it is a simplistic image suggesting it hasn’t been to messed with or edited because it is simplistic.

3.Indie Rock/pop, I get a more Rock vibe this time because it is darker colours and different and more edgy to what you usually would see.

4.It is different, retro because of old-fashioned photograph. It has old-school vibe with band feels to it. On to of this it has an Indie look just a photograph makes it more personal and amateur giving across their ideologies, this works well for what the band wants to represent.

Album 3 - "A day in July"

   

















       1.   I believe they are a Boy band because it seems to be a masculine image with three boys.

     2. Applying Negus’s theory of Organic and synthetic this would be Organic as it is a nature image and hasn’t been touched.

     3The album suggest they are an Indie Alternative band, the photo shows something different and the mountains and clouds show a different vibe.

   

     4. It suggests an alternative vibe, almost cultural with the natural imagery. The people in the image suggest a very relaxed calming atmosphere It’s more detail suggesting more depth as a band in their third album. The style of the image is consistent. The us of a Long shots shows the large scale of a natural picture.

  Marlowe“deep breathe fake air” 

 

    1.   They are a Boy Band, as this album is out there and pretty graphic. 

   2.  In Negus’s theory they would again be Organic.

   3.   They would be Indie rock/Pop, due to the colours used.

   4.   This album is more mainstream. The red suggests blood in this, deep roar emotions. Scientific diagram shows inner organs, openness. We get an almost disturbed vibe from this one. The fake colours contrast hugely with the previous natural one. Very fake nothing natural to it. The significance as they use the letters and why they repeat? We notice a sudden change in art/band direction? We ask why they choose to use a fake image instead of a photo? Does the more refined artwork reflect changing ideologies?

   TESTCARD“ LINES” – debut album

       

1.    I now believe this could be an Artist because of the simplicity of the album.

2.    It is still Organic but now moving more towards synthetic.

3.    The Artist for me is Indie Alternative as the bland colours show they are trying to create something a bit different and give their fans something else to listen to.

4.    It is simple but artistic, the play on words with lines helps make is more visual and therefore stand out from other previous album artwork. This may represent their music as being different and unique. The lack of colour compared to red may show they are trying to do change their image up and make it more individualistic.

“ Promises I should have kept” – debut album 

   1.  I think this album belongs to a band because it is quirky therefore shows a cartoon like jokey feeling.

   

    2.The band would be Indie/Alternative because of the use of language and the fact the album cover is there to make a statement may be reflecting the type of music they enjoy creating.

   3.    Once again using Negus’s theory for me this band is represented as Organic not Synthetic.

   4.  I like the use of the Mexican influence on the artwork, there seems to be a drawing which shows a childish fun vibe, which may then show in their music later on.
