Fun pose of all the girls together, wearing the typical denim based fashions of the day. The title font is fun and in cartoon styled lettering, with star symbols, on a bright orange vortex background.
Classy photograph of the girls looking sophisticated, pouty and sexy. Their clothes are all of similar styles, with a uniting colour of yellow. The colour purple (opposite on the colour wheel), compliments the yellow of their outfits and is used for both the band name and album title.
Cosy photo of the girls close together looking happy and dressed in the sporty cargo trousers style as commonly seen on girls during the time the album was released. Their band name is bright and fun, with a large star symbol, with their album title being of lower emphasis.
Glamourous beauty close up facial shots of the three band members, with dewy flawless skin. The colour gold is highly prominent across the album cover, and the title and lighting compliment each other perfectly.
Happy, fun, candid style shot of the girls together, dressed very bright and fashionably. Their logo (the 5 in a circle), is seen in the O of 'Harmony', which is typical of the band imagery, and the colour red is featured across both titles.
Pastel coloured background, with a posed photograph of the girls in their typically quirky but fashionable style, featuring a lot of colours and passion. Here the album title is larger than the band title, however they have a smaller 'lm' logo in the corner as well as the title in their signature capital lettered style.
Black and white candid style photo of the girls looking summery in sunglasses, and wearing casual clothes. The larger album title in bright stenciled letters contrasts against the black and white of the photo, and gives a homemade scrapbook type feel alongside the felt tip handwritten style of the band name.
Tattoo style 'Pussycat Dolls' title, over a sexily styled and posed photo of the band members, featuring exclusively the colour black.
Cher's name in her signature style is on the mugshot police board around her neck, with the album title in bold letters in the corner, working in synergy with the drawing and cartoony style of the background of the album cover. Cher looks fiesty and fashionable in the front, whilst remaining playful and friendly.
The girls sit playfully together along a sofa in a typically friendly situation, their shoe colours match their chairs, and the album title is written across the magazines they are smiling over. The band name is in neon lights, in their signature font.
Our original band have a more grungey image with a photo of them looking very bad-ass, with cartoonised effects used over a red background, with a scribbley style band name.
Fun poses, relative to title, around the band name in the middle, which is written in their signature style.
Here the boys have matured, and with their 'Memory Lane' album, they made a return updating their image to show them in a classier way, now typically wearing suits. Here, they've changed the font they used previously in their band name titles, and are shown together in serious poses in a painted style.
Recognisable title imagery used for band name, the album title is very small here. The boys are pictured in a fun friendly way, highlighting their bond together, as they wear similarly coloured fashionable outfits.
This image shows the boys in serious straight forward poses, dressed in black and grey fashionable 'boyband' style clothes. The band name is big and central, again in grey and is written in a messy styled stencil font.
With Diana's new album she has presented a more mature and sexualised image, as shown with her cheeky photo, where she is topless underneath her bright red blazer. Her album title and name work together in synergy in similar font styles, and a constant colour scheme.
Like Diana, this album cover shows Miley as she presents her more mature and 'bad-ass' image, as accentuated with the album title 'Can't Be Tamed', and the grungey messy style of font. Her name is a large and centered feature, as she is a well establishes and famous artist, who's name is widely recognised and is used to help her sell her music. In the photo Miley looks older and more sophisticated than in her previous albums, with a brighter and shorter hair cut, and a lot of leather in her clothes.
Britney looks young, cute and girly in her pose and clothes, this image is accentuated with the curly and handwritten style font which her name is written in.
Taylor uses her bright red lipstick in the centre of the album cover photo to work in synergy with both the album name, and the colour scheme used in the title. Taylor looks beautiful, classy, mysterious and sophisticated, and similarly to Miley and Diana, this album marks a change in image for her, as she ditches her signature curls and grows up.
This album cover shows of Eliza's crazy quirky style, with a collage of different images used, with Eliza amongst this collage imagery, in a typically different pose to that seen by solo artists. Her name is also styled uniquely, as it not only uses quite an irregular font, but is presented in a banner pulled by a cute yellow plane.
FINDINGS:
Solo artist album covers feature one artist, and so they are centrally featured, with the rest of the cover used for titles and other imagery. Group album covers show the band together, usually looking happy and friendly with each other in either a sexual or playful and cheeky way. The sizes of titles vs. names varies across different artists and different albums, but the two titles usually work in synergy either in similar fonts, or similar colours.
