This is the album cover is for Calvin Harris's Album called Ready For The Weekend.
The most eye catching thing you first see about the album cover is the womens face on the front with the fly like dimantie glasses. This make the album cover more mysterious/effective as you can not see her eyes, Also the picture is in black and white which makes you look at the picture differently due to not been able to see the womens hair colour ect.
The women will have obviously been posed like the way she is as its an extreme close up of her full face. The lighting in the shot looks like it has been shined up into her face from down below automatically giving her status. Songs on the album such as "Im not alone" and "Ready for the weekend" relate to this picture as the women does not seem old only in her late teens/early 20's.
Although we can not see the Womens eyes she is stil holding a very strong poise with her jaw which suggests independance/individuality towards he audiences.
The same font is used throughout the album from the Album title to the song titles. The album is no perticually "fancy" compared to some modern albums. It used a computer/electrical like font throughout the album.
The title of the album is written down the side on an angle so its not covering any of the womens face on the cover. I think this look very effective because its located down the spine of the album you just straight away see the womens face before anything else which is kind of iconograpical towards Calvin Harris.
The back of the album is meant to be the womens head at the front showing her hair, but still in the black and white theme. This goes really well because it follows on from the front of the album of the womens face.
on the back on the album there are usual conventions which you expect to see on the back of a CD cover which are the manager’s name, Music Company and barcode.
