Justin Bieber -Believe (album) - Teen Now Magazine


On this page of album/single promotions, Justin's album "Believe" has the largest amount of space. The cover used for this album displays a huge close up of Justin's face which covers the majority of the cover, most likely because the record label demands it. The close up of Justin also makes him look important and angelic because of how the light is reflect on certain parts of his face, highlighting features such as his eyes and lips, making him also look more attractive. The colours used on the album cover make the artist look powerful and rather angelic, again because of how the light highlights certain features. The font used is rather simple, but all letters are capitals, making them stand out, especially  with the name of the album "BELIEVE" going straight across the bottom of the cover.

The outline of white also stands out well over the darker photo of Justin. Surprisingly  the name of the artist uses a very small font compared to the album title, and is displayed at the top of the cover, which is not very noticeable at all. I think the album cover uses quite simple images and texts to not draw your attention to too many aspects, as the main focus is on the artist face. Next to the image of the album is a little summary and description of the album which ends with the sentence "Another Pop classic", making the album sound really good quality and makes the audience want to purchase it.
