Album Cover Analysis - La Roux

La Roux

Label - Polydor
Producers - Elly Jackson, Ben Langmaid

This album cover is quiet typical of the pop/indie genre. The artist(s) are usually featured on the front with very little in the background. Their style is British electropop synth and indie pop, the duo targets teens to early 20's.

This album cover for La Roux is interesting because her face almost looks like a painting as it has been softened and smoothed so much in editing. Elly is central to the cover with the light focusing on her face, darkening the corners, this draws attention to her and also allow the fans to see who sings the songs, even though there are two people in the band we hardly see the other person.

She seems to be gazing at something off the picture and has a very neutral expression. Her extreme and individual hair style helps to show her personality. This photo has been taken in a studio with a red background behind her, this also helps to divert attention to her. The title of the band and album is white, plain and block print at the top. However, i would of preferred the title to be at the bottom because there is empty space.
