Miley Cyrus Album Cover Analysis

Miley Cyrus album cover design has changed for every album she has released as for everyone she has grown up and so the album cover is what represents that.

This album cover was Mileys first album released in 2008, aged 16 which could suggest her fan base and audience for her album would be teenagers and younger children as they knew her from starring in Hannah Montana. The layout of this album cover is simple as it has the image of the artist, the name and the album title which are the iconic features of an album cover. The use of the silver star in the middle can suggest that she is a star herself. I think overall this album cover is effective as by just having the artist look towards the fan who will buy the album may make them seem as though Miley is looking at them directly and want a connection with her.
An album cover should signify the sort of genre of music that the album features and in my opinion the use of bright colours, an image of a star and the artist smiling can suggest that the album consists of pop music.

Within the album booklet there are images of miley to promote her and her style. This image to the right has her standing on music movers to suggest she is an arist who really does care about the music as she is also "singing" into the microphone. The colours are the same as the album cover which helps the continutey and simplicity of the album booklet e,g with the whites and red.

All album booklets include the songs and lyrics in them for the fan to sing along to the song so they are able to learn the song through singing along. We can see the use of stars which was used on the album cover to show continuety with the artwork.

As Miley has grown up so has her style of music and fans. Her latest album 'Cant Be Tamed' has a more rebelious, rauchy taste as she has grown up and acknowledged who she is as an artist. This album cover shows that as the way she is standing the outfit she is wearing as she is showing more skin to suggest that she is becoming her own person. The colour scheme of this album cover also shows her fans/audience how she has gone from the sweet, innocent girly style she was portrayed as when she started with disney to a more grown up, contraversal artist who knows what kind of music she wants to release.  As stated  in the first paragraph, an album cover reflects the type of music that will be on the album. From this album cover i can see that Miley has grown up and so maybe as she has grwon up she has become a more R&B, pop rock artist as the colours are more darker and the outfit is more older, which can attract the older audience.
