Third Album Cover Analysis

This is another album cover for you me at six for their 'EP' of the song 'Liquid Confidence'. I chose to analyse this video as I find it very creative and would like to draw idea's from this album.

• The album is filled with bright colours which can instantly grab the audiences attention. This could show how the band themselves want to grab the attention of people with their music.
• The EP subverts the conventions of a normal rock genre album cover as the average cover usually has darker colours or colours such as 'Red' which connote danger, but instead this album cover is filled with vibrant more mellow meaning colours.
• Also almost all rock genre album covers stick with the same house style and colour scheme, limiting its colours. While this EP has a diverse range of colours, which is one thing that i like about it.
• The many colours in the EP could reflect the bands type of music, being an indie/rock genre due to the various vibrant colours with a lot happening on screen and within the music.
• The collage of colours and images also reflects the music genre with how creative the music sounds and with the amount happening within the music. Also the surrealism of the EP cover also reflects the way rock genre music can be portrayed when images are used.
• The simple, cream background allows the creative, colourful collage to stand out even more while adding to the creative scheme of the EP. Also by the background being cream rather than white shows that the music isn't plain/boring.

This album cover appeals to the audience in many ways such as:

• The way the EP is presented through colour schemes and construction such as the diverse colours used and the collage of images shows the creativity of rock music which attracts the audience who like the rock/indie music genre.
• The title 'YOU ME AT SIX' in capitals immediately tells the audience who the band is which will attract old fans but may also attract new/curious fans.
• The target audience are probably young due to the vibrant and creative use of the images and colour which are more relevant to a young audience.

What interest me about the EP cover:

• The colour scheme and collage of different images as it attracts my attention in the same way it would attract the target audience's attention.
• The black and white bird grabs my interest as it is different than the rest of the album, lacking colour yet standing out so much. This could reflect the band as they are really well known in the rock industry but don't stand out as much in the real world.
