Album Cover Analysis-Pharrell Williams

Pharrell Williams-GIRL
In the images we can see Pharrell with three girls in the picture. We can tell he is the dominant person in the picture as he is standing out of line to the others and he is the tallest and we can see the most of him out of all the people in the shot. The fact that he is the only male, black person in the shot also shows that he is dominant, this could mean he has a lot of power and perhaps holds it over these girls. The red head girl may also be considered as dominant as she is the front of the shot and on the back of the album she is the only person with her eyes in view, whilst Pharrells are covered with his iconic hat and the other girls are wearing. The image may also suggest that he is a bit of a 'ladies man' as he is the only male and the album is called GIRL, and is about the most important women in his life.
On the front cover, everyone is wearing sunglasses, hiding their eyes. This hides their emotion and could also be hiding away a secret or something the audience is not supposed to know but want to find out, this would attract the audience to the album.

The title of the album is written in bold capital letters, this shows that the artist really wants to get a message out with this album, as it is about the most important women in his life. The colour yellow is used, this symbolises intelligence, energy, happiness and creativity. One of the songs on the album is called happy so this colour represents the content of this album. The title is repeated again on the back cover in the same way, emphasising further what this title means. The other text is around the picture of the people, emphasising their presence in the album, ensuring they get all the attention and the names of the songs are not as prominent, making the audience want to listen to the album.
