Ancillary Text Research and Planning

Digipack Research

Generally pop covers are very bright in order to attract the audience of younger females and also males. The text of the title of the album usually covers the face or part of the artists body and this is in bold lettering and a girly font such as pink, white, purple etc.This helps an audience to clearly see who's album it is due to the large and clear title and therefore they can make a decision on whether they want to purchase it or not.

 Poses

The poses the artists pull are quite dramatic in some way in order to draw attention to the appearance of the artist. They are dramatic such as sexual poses with not much clothing, a close up of a type of a quite natural facial expression.

Makeup
The artists in the images often wear bright makeup to help reflect the pop genre further and make it more visible to an audience what the genre is.Red lipstick is worn, bright hair, colourful eyeshadow.

Camera shots
The camera shots used are generally close ups in order to capture facial expression, although sometimes they're longshots such as Miley Cyrus' album cover.The pop genre is then portrayed via the colour choices.
