Album Cover Analysis (2)

Front cover:  colours

Red,  Yellow, Pink, Blue, Purple, Orange, Grey, White, Brown Green.

Front cover:  image

•           How image links  to band / album name – any hidden meanings?

The  front cover is a colourful cartoon cloud with lightening coming out of it in  all different colours. It says MIKA centre left of the album and the title  ‘life in cartoon motion’ is centre right. I feel the cartoons represent  stories and the colour shows passion and enthusiasm.

Front cover:  fonts (for band and album name, differences)

•           font size

•           number of  characters

All  fonts in the front cover are different. This gives a crazy setting and the  colours blue, pink and white are used for the two fonts. The artists name is  large and the album name is small. There are 22 characters across the album  cover.

Back cover:  what info is included

There  are the 11 song that the album contains. The barcode and record label are  also on the back of the cover. Furthermore the web address is on the back.  There are multiple pictures on the right hand side of clouds sofas, TV and  lamps.

Back cover:  links to front cover

The  back cover links to the front cover through its illustrations. The pictures  are drawn exactly the same in a cartoon style.

Spine  information and links to front and back cover

Overall, how  does iconography represent the band?

All  the colourful images represent his personality and fun lifestyle as a pop  singer.
