Deconstruction of an Album Cover


This is Jessie J's album cover. The image shows direct mode of address to the audience. The eye contact that Jessie gives draws us in to her album cover. The mise en scene shows us a white background which makes us also draw attention to the star and the main colour is black. The colours on Jessie are all connected to one another. The black nails, hair and clothes all link together. The album title 'Jessie J' is in gold which is a very strong colour and makes it stand out a lot more. Also, as the font it gold she has a gold design on her black lips which also shows links to the photo and writing. The contrasts in the colours brings out her main features and beauty. Her thick, bold hair stops just above her eyes and as her eyes are blue they stand out a lot more. Her eyes give a feel of mystery. The way her hands are postioned at the side of her head bringing out the shape of her facial feautres. Her sense of style and colour shows she is an individual celebrity as you wouldn't see many celebrities with such bold lips with drawn designs on. Jessie J is also known for her fabulous artistic lip decorations.

  1. Nice deconstruction. Clear and helps to define her overall look, suggesting a little more of what she might be about as an artist.
