Research and Planning: Analysis of CD album cover- Gabrielle Aplin

Gabrielle Aplin's album keeps the same theme within the front cover, inside cover and back cover:


The title of the album is 'English Rain' in an elegant font which is smaller than the artist's name which is in a different font, as it is written in capital letters which is quite simple and bold. The artist is a British female singer, the cover consists of a dull and grey background which matches to the title of her album 'english rain' as it is mostly dull and rainy in England. She is shown holding an umbrella which is bright and colourful which stands out from the dull and grey background. The genre of this album is folk and pop, therefore it uses a more natural theme for the album. 


The inside front cover still follows on from the front cover, showing the same background but her lifting the umbrella in the air, as if she is looking care-free. This could suggest that the dullness could connote the sadness, or the 'bad' things that occur, but there is always a 'good' thing which is present and that the badness can be overcome which could be represented by the umbrella.


The same background is used, so the same theme is kept consistent throughout the covers of the album. The back cover shows the songs of the album which is written in the same font as the title of the album shown on the front cover. It is simple, yet elegant and appealing to the audience. The back cover also shows a barcode, and a small print text below which is information which informs the music publishing company's name, logo, and copyright statement.
