2. How does it make you feel?
After viewing this Digi pack, it has encouraged me to listen to his songs. It has also made me
feel excited due to the fact he has added on his lyrics onto the album. This allowed me to
identify his songs and if I wanted I would have access to the lyrics to sing along with it. In
addition to this is an appeal to its target audience which is ‘Teenagers’ it is also highly
aspirational as boys would want to be like him. It would also attract girls as they may be jay
Sean’s fans. Jay Sean songs are in the R&B or pop genre. The typography used is san serif
this also makes him look ‘Confident’ and shows that the masculine features, similarly it
shows a dominant figure to the audience.
What does it tell you about the artist band?
By looking at this Album cover it attracts its target audience due to the mise-en-scene used.
Furthermore looking at Jay Sean makes me more excited to listen to the music which is in
the album. Also by looking at Jay Sean’s album it can straight away tell me that it is aimed at
young people due to the fact Jay Sean is a young artist.
After viewing this Album cover ‘Jay Sean- my own way’ you can immediately identify that
the genre is pop/R&B and is aimed at a young audience due to the fact of the image which is
included on the case. In addition to this the album cover uses a serif typography which
portrays that the music could be mainly romantic which is aimed at a female audience more
than a male audience.
Who do you think is the target audience?
This Album cover is aimed at teenagers and young adults, aged 14+, I can identify this
straight away due to the dress code and how the artists sings his songs. Furthermore jay
Sean also sings love songs within this album
such as ‘Stay’ this illustrates that it is aimed
at teenagers as they would mostly be falling
in love at this age. Furthermore it aspires
certain individuals to be like Jay Sean and
dress like him. It would also make the target
audience gratified as they would see what
they want to see; therefore they would be
more satisfied. In addition to this mostly
young teenagers and adults listen to music,
as you wouldn’t get old people listening to
pop/R&B music. Within Jays Sean’s video he
uses Andrew Goodwin’s theory as he follows
an illustrative video- this is because the
images on the video match his lyrics.
