Your Song Album Cover analysis

As this song is the biggest influence on my video, it seems right that I analyse the album cover as well.





This was the album cover that was released with the song. It has quite a polished feel to it, that slightly contradicts with the video, however links with the cover for the album 'Lights' which this song comes from, as they are both very similar.




The use of gold and yellow within this cover, indicate this polished feel and give Ellie a more high profile image, that isn't seen particularly within the video, yet this is the image given on the 'Lights' album cover.




Many similar features are on this cover, as they are on the 'Lights' one, such as the light spots that are present and the use of almost lit font.




However, another album cover was also used, one which is more reflective of the video. This cover has the some sort of 'home' feel to it as the video does, with the same sort of colours and effects. It has a more natural feel it, something which was conveyed within the video itself. By having the colours slightly washed out as they are, also indicates this sense of natural. Even the fonts used, reflect the image Ellie created in the video.
