Moodboard of Existing Album Covers

To gain an understanding of the type of different artists who are similar to Justin Timberlake and singers who have incorporated blends of Indie and Pop into their music, we have put together a moodboard of existing album covers. By this we can see themes and continuing trends that will be beneficial when putting together our promotional package.

 One aspect of our project is to create a album cover to go alongside our music video. In preperation for this, we decided to look at a number of other album covers within the 'indie pop genre', of which we had chosen. This allowed us to consider some ideas of what we wanted our own music video to look like, through studying the typical codes and conventions of real existing products. We focused alot on Katy Perry's Album Covers, as she was the artist's song in which we had chosen to do and is a key role model with in the indie pop genre. We learned a lot through analysing the album covers : Many of the album covers tended to use 'Mid Shots' to display the artist on the front. We really liked this as it was quite a simple shot, and also meant that we could focus more on the costume, makeup and pose of the model, to really enhance the look of the album. Artists within the Indie Pop genre, especially Katy Perry. Are really well known for really encouraging individuality and originality. They are also known for being quite bold and not 'following the crowd'

Artists within the Indie Pop genre, especially Katy Perry. Are really well known for really encouraging individuality and originality. They are also known for being quite bold and not 'following the crowd' The image above does not fully reflect this, but was a common factor in a high majority of the other album covers we looked at.
