I have been looking at Lana Del Rey's albums for inspiration on how to design my album. One of the main features I have seen in a number of her albums are the way she is presented on them, she's the centre of the page, obviously as it is her album she should be but some artists like different sorts of artwork such as landscapes or an explosion of colour, etc. I think the use of colour used in Lana Del Rey's album's vary, for example she is the colour on this album cover, but the rest of the album is quite bland, therefore shows how little she needs to try to look fabulous.
Also I have noticed that the font is usually either very fancy or very block-like/sans serif. This is effective because not only does it show the audience clearly who the artist is and which album it is, but it also jumps out almost like a cinema/theatre show sign - big and explosive, it catches everyones eye. I will be using this to link with her other albums, this will link well with her other albums allowing the audience to create a connection from one album to the other enabling them to think that this new album is as good as the previous, but also by changing the appearence slightly the audience that didn't like her previous albums may think that this one's slightly different and they may like it.
A lot of Lana Del Rey's albums are quite plain when it comes to text and logos, she doesn't tend to show her record companies logo or a barcode, therefore I won't be using them on the front cover, I will be showing them on the side at the back of the album.
