5 Album covers for ' Blue Eyed Soul'

• this album cover has positioned Amy Winehouse in the middle of the frame, this tells the audience that this is the person that is singing within the album and shows her important within the album.
• they have tilted her head slightly to the left this connotes that she is quite innocent and angelic and this is also reinforced by the white dress because the white connotes virgin and innocence, therefore making the audience think that Amy (the women in the image) is also innocent.
• she is sitting on a stool that is commonly seen in schools and because she is sitting in front of a white board it connotes that she is quite young and young females within the media are usually seen as nice innocent girls. Also the third middle party may have her this way because they want her to attract the target audience of teenage girls.
• with the little white dress Amy is wearing gold jewellery this connotes that she has a rebellious side and the leopard print shoes connote that she can be quite wild, this attracts the target audience because they will be interested in Amy Winehouse because she is not boring.
• the copy used is a simple colour of white which again connotes innocence and it also stands out from the black background and the style reminds me of a barcode which is interesting and therefore attracts the audience.
• the target audience is clearly teenage girls this is clear because Amy Winehouse is wearing fashionable clothing therefore attracting the audience.
• the tag line 'back to black' is interesting and is also shown by Amy because she also has her back to black, therefore making it interesting.
• because Amy is leaving slightly forward we can slightly see her chest, therefore the representation of gender within this album cover is that females use their body to sell album covers.

• the album cover is in black and white, this connotes that the album will have quite a retro feel to it and that it will be different to everything that is out at the moment.

• the copy of the artists name is in a script style which qives the album a sense of personal touch by Duffy and makes it seem as though she has signed it for her audience, which would attract the audience.

• the second copy is a pale pink colour and is positioned right next to the first copy and it stands out from the black background but is not as dominant as the first copy which connotes the first piece of information is more important to the audience and the album that than the first.
• because we can only see part of Adele's face it creates and enigma of why is she hiding her face and what does she have to hide, it also creates a sense of mystery
• the way Adele is looking down is very feminine and highlights her beauty and represents her as a stereotypical female that is interested in her make-up and looks.
• it is unconventional because stereotypically the female is usually showing of a part of her body to sell the album and Adele is not showing anything / any part of her body.
