Album cover analyses LMFAO

This is an album cover for LMFAO, the cover contains the two male artists and the cropped middle of a female model. The male figures are leaning against the female with the same expression. Their expression, the inclusion of large glasses and their general appearance is humorous and all adds to the fun feel of the album.

The model is a mid-shot of just her middle which presents a sexual image. The two male artists are in close-up of only their heads demonstrating their importance as the album creators. They are seen to be drawn towards the female model, and almost to be drooling over her. The position of the shot is head on and the artists are in a posed shot as they are aware of the picture being taken. It also creates a relationship between the audience and the artists. The female model has a stereotypically thin figure which is all too common a symbol in the media. The fact that she is anonymous again reinforces her inclusion as merely a sexual image and not a real person.

Colour is obviously important to this album cover, bright colours are used such as yellow, pink and purple. All these colours represent a party feel to the album, which is reflected in the title 'Sorry for Party Rocking'. Also the colours draw attention to the female, rather than the male artists, which would appeal to a young male audience. 

Two different fonts are used in the layout of the typography, this shows the difference between the band name and the title of the album. The band name is in bold yellow capital letters which is easy to read and stands out. There is a pink print flowing out of the writing giving it a psychedelic quality. The album name is in a more stylised font, which resembles a tattoo. This gives the album an 'edgy' feel and more of a rock n roll status. This is further underlined by the model's body piercing.

The lighting emphasises the main characters on the album cover by highlighting them and keeping the background dark. This provides the main images with an energy that will attract the audience to listen to the album. 

The music of this album is of a similar genre to the song we have chosen (Dance Pop). Therefore it is interesting to see how it is represented through the album cover, such as the colourful vibe, the main image, the fonts and how the artists are portrayed.
