Kylie Minogue Album cover- X

 This is the album cover to Kylie Minogue’s album X. We looked at this album cover because we wanted to look at how pop stars were represented on their album covers, as this is the genre that our video would fit into. As you would expect on this album cover there is a close up of the artist and her name. This is similar to other albums by Kylie Minogue, although of which have a photograph of her and her name as the biggest writing on the album cover, bigger then that of the albums title if it even includes the title at all. This is because they are relying on selling the album on the name of the already well established artist who can be recognised by her first name only. When creating our album cover we feel it is important to have the artists face on it as this is typically what would be expected from a pop band.

Although the background is black there is still a lot of block bold colour on this album cover, suggesting that pop album need to be colourful to play on the market that they are being targeted at, young women. The red line used in the image also matches the red on her nails and lips. This is something that we will take into consideration when creating our album cover.

In this album there is some relationship between the image and the writing as the writing uses the same colours as her name and the way the colour has been used in the image and the writing is similar.
