Lorde's Album Covers
Whether we choose to imitate or oppose Lorde's image, we still need to have an understanding of her style. Looking at her official covers as well as certain fan-made tributes can help provide insight and clarity into our own ideas.
This is a fan made cover for her Pure Heroine debut album. Interestingly, we had exactly the same idea with the colour, except we were going to make a long rectangle of the image saturated at her eye level, and the rest desaturated (the same way they used colour we would use saturation).
This is another fan made album cover which caught my eye. It's one of the few covers which doesn't feature her face (this and the official Pure Heroine one), and the gritty old school style was very interesting to me. Perhaps investigating the use of old school cameras such as those available at Lomography.com.
This is yet another album cover featuring Lorde's face. It's simplistic lighting and costume make her face more attractive and interesting. It's also worth noting that the tennis courts in the background connote her famous single, "Tennis Courts".
This album cover is unlike any of her other ones in that it is extremely plain. At first glance it appears like plain white text on a black background, but in reality it is a textured black background and the white text becomes more dirty and textured towards the right.
