Lily Allen's Album Cover for 'It's Not Me, It's You'
This Album Cover is simple, as Lily Allen is laid across a giant 'L' - standing for 'Lily'. This is representing the fact that she is her own person from within and that nobody can control her. The pink theme to the cover is showing that she can be who she likes, as pink is a very bright and innocent color. Lily's star image of being herself and her own person is very much represented in this.
Jason Derulo's Album Cover for 'Tattoos'
The irony of this Album Cover for 'Tattoos' is obvious as it is a painting of Jason Derulo covered in tattoos. The fact his face is a painting represents his opinion of tattoos as being art. The 'Parental Advisory' logo in the bottom right hand corner is necessary for an album which could contain innapropriate or explicit content. The colors are attractive to the eye - creating an appeal to the CD cover.
Derulo's star image is how he see's himself - and to have a painting of himself as the album cover represents this.
Michael Jackson's Album Cover for 'Bad'
This is a very effective album cover as the simplicity is everything. The font of 'Bad' is spray painted on - graffiti is seen as a 'bad' thing, which is ironic as it is also in red. The serious look on Jackson's face represents the name of the song.
Michael Jackson's star image was strong and varied - he was never just tied down to one theme.
Rihanna's Album Cover for 'Right Now'
This is a very provocative album cover as it Rihanna is posing naked with nothing but a leather jacket covering her chest. This is eye-catching and makes people more interested in the album.
Rihanna's star image is also varied - constantly changing.
Star Image is very important when it comes to selling a new product - particularly with music. The more interesting the music video or the album cover - the more hits it will get.
