Analysis: Beyonce Album Cover

Beyonce has a very strong theme for all of her covers, music videos and other media products. The album cover for her new album 4, uses the same colour scheme on the outside and inside of the design to make it easily recognisable. The design also focues on Beyonce herself as she is an easily recognisable artist. Her name has been used on the front and back of the album as people will just buy the album because it's Beyonce.

Overall the outside of the album is very simple, although the essential information such as record label, management, copyright notices, producer, tracklist, websites and barcode are all displayed on the back. Whereas the inside focuses on professional; fashion-inspired photography, this again shows her power in the industry.

We think that using a consistent theme throughout the design will be beneficial to our design because it makes it look like a professional product such as Beyoncé '4'. We also think the simpilicity seems to be a convention of many popular R&B artists such Beyoncé and Kanye West.
