Album artwork

Marlowe- Its turning me on- debut EP

  • Solo artist
  • Red back ground and putting on lipstick, links with album title- sexualising the woman in the album cover
  • Easy to see the writing- strong contrast, allows us to see the name of the artists clearly
  • No capital letters
  • Organic artist
  • She is again sexualised through the use of the skirt, she is pulling it up slightly showing a lot of leg
  • Red sometimes does signal danger- brings up oppositional meaning.

Marlowe- darksparklecorner- debut album

  • Light is focussed on the boy highlighting his surprised/scared expression
  • The boy is in a dark corner, however he himself is 'sparkling' maybe relating to the album cover
  • Genuine image, no editing, doesn't look staged 
  • The colours and contrasts in the photo suggest that it may have been taken somewhere around 2000
Marlowe- A day in July

  • Links with first album cover with the use of white text on a red background again
  • Very picturesque and gives of a feeling of tranquility
  • Contrasts with the previous album cover, as the title cover highlights completely different things
  • There is also children in the photo, which links back to the previous  cover, as it also uses a child as well
Marlowe- Deep breathe fake air

  • White text again on a red background, contrasting thus is easy to see. But also uses black text which contrasts with other covers
  • Cartoon image again suggest organic image
Testcard- lines

  • Colour pallet is very bland
  • Has now started to use capital letters
  • Very abstract image
  • Contrasts to all of the other album covers, quite dull compared to the others
Roja- Promises i should of kept

  • Spanish/ Mexican image
  • Roja means red, so is the text again linking back to the previous albums which use red as well
