Analysis of an album cover: This is the life

First of all, this album cover shows the artist herself. We see a young woman around 25-30 years old. She looks quite sad, so we may assume this will be a tone for the whole album. She is not looking to camera, so it might suggest that it is personal and it is hard for her to share this information. We see a guitar in her hands. This may be the main instrument in most of the songs and she plays it by herself. We may assume that it is indie, soft-rock, folk genre because of the way she dressed. The cover has an effect of an old picture, which may mean that the songs are about events that happened in her life years ago. The whole piece is in dark, greenish colors making look on her face as it is the only bright place on image.

The print introduces us the artist and the name of the album. It is in big font which means that it is a debut album.

This photo also gives some ideas about the artist and creates a star image of kind, sincere, thoughtful artist which shares his life with an audience.
