reserch and planning: comparison of pop and indie rock

Pop Artist C.D Cover:

Indie/Rock C.D Cover:



The most obvious difference between these C.D covers is the colour of them, from the pop and the indie rock covers. The other thing which is really noticeable is the facial expression of each of the artists.


Colour:  The colour of the Katy Perry cover, is very vibrant, and really colourful, additionally so is the One Direction cover, this is to grab the customers attention when buying it and also to stand out from the rest of the C.D covers. Whereas in the indie/rock C.D cover they are dark colours, and use of a lot of red, black, grey and white. This is to show aggression, fierce and death, these are what I feel these colours represent.  


Mese En Scene: The clothing of the 2 C.D covers are also different, especially the One Direction cover and the All Time Low one because the All Time Low one is wearing formal clothing; shirt, tie and suits in the album cover. They are also wearing black, white and grey coloured clothing as well. Whereas the One Direction, are wearing bright colours such as; light blue, light green and white, and casual clothing which is the type of clothing they are wearing on their album cover. 


The lighting is really bright and it gives you a happy feeling when you look at the pop album covers. Also straight away from the lighting you can tell its pop as well. The album cover gives out that it’s upbeat and unique to any other artists. Whereas the lighting in the Indie/rock album covers in really low and dim and there isn't allot of back light, and looks really depressing, but also looks unusual. There is a little bit of lighting on the All Time Low album cover on the main guy, who is opening a bottle of Champaign.
