3. Speak Now Album
Released- October 2010
Genre- Country, Pop
Label- Big Machine
Singles- ‘Mine’ I have looked at the video in
my research.
After looking and analysing Taylor Swifts Album I have gained
inspiration Holly’s image is similar to Taylor in the way that she
is a young female artist, with a natural pretty look and sings
mainly about love stories. I will try and use the successful
features like interesting images of Holly and keep the theme
bright and cheerful.

5. Mylo Xyloto Album
Released- October 2011
Genre- Electro, Alternative Rock
Label- Parlophone
Singles- Big Hit ‘Paradise’ and ‘Charlie
Brown’
This Album cover I have research gives the impression of a
artistic and vivid design, this also fits in with the trend as it
uses bright colours and has an up to date stylish appearance.
These techniques will appeal to a young target audience
similar to what I will be targeting for Holly’s album therefore I
must create a stylish and modern looking cover.

7. Loud Album
Released- November 2010
Genre- R&B, Dance, Pop
Label- Def Jam
Singles- ‘ California King Bed’ the video I have
analysed and gained inspiration from.
Rihanna’s album has given me ideas of how to make a Digipak
have a strong colour scheme with mainly red being used giving
visual impact, I also think the close-up images which would be a
good idea for Holly’s album as this is her first release and fans
will then be able to recognise her. I think Holly’s album will
need a stylish modern look and design similar to Rihanna’s.

Released- October 2010
Genre- Pop, R&B, Pop-reggae

Singles- Hits including ‘Just the Way You Are’ and
‘The Lazy Song’
Bruno Mars has a strong brand identity and this is shown
in this design for the digipak I like the uniqueness and
edge to this album cover, something I will take after
researching this album is that and how to addresses and
portray this in a digipak.
