research and planning: comparing R&B and Indie rock

R&B artist album cover:


Indie rock artists album cover







Mese en scene:  The clothing of the R&B cover is very limited especially on the 'super club' one. This is to get the readers eye. Also the hairstyle on the women on both the R&B covers are long curly (on the super club one) or straight long hair (winter heat). This catches the reader’s attention. I have also noticed that in the R&B covers there are a lot of people, unlike the Indie/ rock covers. The Eliza Doolittle uses the childish theme for her album cover because her music is very happy and gives you a good feeling when you listen to it. The theme also appeals to her target audience, which is young people aged between 14-24 but because of the colours and the extreme colour contrast it could have a target audience of younger people as well.  I believe that the album cover is saying buy me and escape to Eliza Doolittle’s island. Whereas in the super club album, they seem to be really serious and not really enjoying it, whereas Eliza Doolittle comes across as being happy and full of life.
