Ancillary Task

After my results from my questionnaire it was apparent that there are a majority of people who look at an album cover therefore this is what I have planned to do as part of my digipack. Alongside my album cover, I plan to do a Magazine advertisement which was a popular choice in my questionnaire.
I have studied Katy Perry's actual single cover for I kissed a girl and I picked a student's magazine article to look at.

Looking at her single cover it is noticeable that it is very simple. It contains her as the artist on the left side of cover with the title of her single as well as her name on the right side. It is all on a white back ground. The colours of the title are very similar to what she is wearing which also adds to the simplicity. Although the cover is simple it is still effective because of the way there is so little on there. It grabs the eye because of the powerful use of white as the background. They colours are all associated with femininity and youth. It may also reflect upon her personality. We can see Katy Perry in full view and she is wearing a prerogative outfit therefore aiming it for males as well. Not only this but her outfit is fashionable therefore it can also attract the female gender. The title is large and the font is playful emphasising the playful, fun style of music she has. I found a youtube clip showing the process in which Katy Perry's Teenage dream album was being made. It was interesting to watch but it gave me an idea of her style. She has some wacky ideas!
