Eliza Doolittle is an artist who I like to think is very similar to our artist in our music video, and she has used similar concepts to our music video using lots of random colourful objects, it looks like she is trying to send a message to her audience that she is taking over as lot of the objects are famous landmarks. These famous landmarks have been ‘infected’ by the Eliza Doolittle fever as everything has a twist to it such as an ice cream splattered on the famous London gherkin and many other childish objects are used to indicate the Eliza takeover. The text on the front cover is very bold and just shows the dominance that she likes to show, the text is also on a banner been dragged across the sky by a toy aeroplane. I think she uses the childish theme because her music is very upbeat, happy and give you a good feeling. The theme also appeals to her target audience, which I think is young teens, vintage. But the images used in the album cover show that the target audience could be even younger. Genuinely the target audience is much wider than expected, as I believe that the album artwork is saying buy me and escape to Eliza Doolittle’s utopian island.
The back of the cover is still in the sky with the artist surrounded by the names of the tracks all in different fonts showing her creative wacky vintage style, this continues from the clothes that she is wearing also, very stylish and vintage. I think this style is pointed towards the fashionable young trend, but can also be seen as an idol to look like and be like so the old who want to be like Eliza can be young and fashionable if they buy this album.
Good detiled analysis of design elements in the cover. You explore the connotations of the visual elements and ways in which cover expresses relationship between artist and audience. We discussed whether these were connotations suitable for your own artist. You wanted to use the idea of a selection of various objects.
