Album artwork- Marlowe- Testcard- Roja

Marlowe- "it's turning me on" - debut EP

Colour scheme is dominated by red

• Focusing on a woman- eyes are down putting lipstick on. This seems to sexualise her. 
• I think that Marlowe is a male solo artist using a woman to give him a slightly different image.
• Lipstick fits with the colour, and the title, 'it's turning me on'. Red is romantic and suductive, and lipstick is red, plus lipstick is worn by women to look good and 'sexy' to 'turn on' a man.
• The typography is in white, which is put into stark contrast by the red background. This causes the name to stand out. 
• Red sometimes stands out to mean danger.

Marlowe- "darksparklecorner"

• High exposure on the boys face, which pulls him into clear sight. His facial expression suggests that he is frightened, and this is emphasised by the fact that we can clearly see him.
• There is high use of colour, and the colours suggests that the photo was taken in the late 90's or early 2000's. 
• The style of it, such as wallpaper and blanket. 
• Album name sounds dark yet magical.

Marlowe- "a day in july"

• The name contrasts the previous, this one sounds warm and joyful.
• White typography on red background, just like "it's turning me on". 
• Same font- easy to read.
• The background looks to be somewhere in India/Nepal. Suggesting maybe a more worldwide music influence.
• Children in the photo, which is linking to the previous album cover.

Marlowe- "deep breathe fake air"

• More artistic- not a photo this time.
• Black typography on the name, bigger font on the name and centralised position, which emphasises it. Done to stop the art work drawing the attention away from the picture 100%.
• Red background

Testcard- "Lines"

• Simplistic grey card like style. 
• Different shaped lines.
• Complete contrast to the previous covers, even more organic than the previous. Capital letters, all lower case before.
• Dull boring.

Roja- "Promises I should have kept"

• Spanish/Mexican.
• Totally different typography.
• 'Roja' is spanish for red, linking back to red/
