Analysis of a CD
cover
- Britney Spears
The title - Circus
The word ‘Circus’ suggests to
the audience that this album
will be entertaining, lively and
fun.
However, the word also has
connotations of ‘freak shows’
and perhaps is to indicate
the Britney feels the public
have looked upon her like a
clown at a circus or at a freak
show.
Star border
Britney’s image is surrounded
by multiple blue stars. This
ties in with the circus theme
but also sends a message to
the audience that Britney is
still a ‘star’.
The colour blue is a cold
colour though perhaps
suggesting that Britney’s
stardom has gone cold
recently.
Red Border and Font
The colour red has
connotations of both
danger linking the album
with something only risk
takers would be interested
in.
Font Type
The Font is reminiscent
of old circus posters,
tying in with the whole
theme.
The format of the
writing is also on a
curve, arguably a link
to the singer’s
curvaceous body.
The image
Britney is dressed in pale pink an overtly feminine
colour. The fabric is net and chiffon, materials
often associated with ballerinas subsequently
linking Britney to vulnerable and sweet little girls.
Her hair is blonde and wavy, mermaid - esque
again linking her to the feminine ideals in society.
Britney’s face is pointed downwards again hinting
at her vulnerability. Overall the look is of an
innocent girl.
