Ancilary Texts- CD

A cover for it's release of part of a digipak (CD/DVD package):

Below are some images of CD covers. These female singers are also quite closely associated to the genre of 'Lana del rey'. Every album cover is similar in each way. They are all very simple with not a lot going on within the image. The singer and the album cover is very plain and simple. It doesn't bring much attention away from the singer. At least half of the CD cover were in black and white. The reason for this was to connote nostalgia. The audience would immediately be able to see what type of genre the singer associates herself with. We also assume that the songs on the CD will symbolise sadness and depression. Most of them tend to be close ups. The reason for this is so we can see the emotion they are giving off through their album again creating assumptions for the audience. A lot of songs will be sad which is a strong emotion emphasised across their faces on the covers. Some of them also shy away from the camera emphasising this. Every single digipack cover also has a title in capital letters, this could be because it makes it stand out more.
