Cover analysis of Blame it On Me

1. GEORGE EZRA – BLAME IT ON ME
The artist is hidden within the crowd and
is very hard to notice. This could be
because there is so much chaos going on
in the picture, that the artist is simply not
important and people looking at the cover
will easily miss him.
The title text is very simple as it has a fairly standard
font design and colour scheme. Ezra’s name is three
times the size of the album because Ezra is a very
popular indie artist, so people may not be as familiar
with the song names as opposed to the artist’s name,
therefore the designers of the cover have made the
artist’s name bigger to make it more recognisable.
This album cover has a very simple and
indie look to it as there are no expensive
effects and no complex or abstract art. It is
simply a crowd causing chaos with the artist
stuck in the middle of it. It also has a lively
feeling to it as most of the people on the
cover are smiling and are wearing a variety
of clothing (a mixture of grey, brown, blue
and red) that makes the cover look more
vibrant.
It is easy to notice that the album
cover corresponds with the target
audience which is young adults.
This is because the majority of the
people on the cover are teenagers
and some people are portrayed on
the cover as causing trouble such
as the boy with the drinks about to
spill them because of the tight
spaces and the man with the
megaphone attempting to organise
the crowd.
