HARDCORE NATION 2009

It is very clear to who the target audience is being targeted at, which are ‘hardcore’ fans. The gender is very natural as both genders can enjoy this album.

 

The information you get about this character portrayed is a free, exciting night life. The image being represented helps portray the ‘HARDCORE LIFE’ by the way the model is positioned, which is a dance pose with her hands high up and free. Her costume is very revelling with a stylish raving costume, which is typical style of clothing for a hardcore rave scene.

 

The image presents the CD as exciting and fun for this genre of music.

The colours are very vibrant with the purple and blue with a bright luminous effect which helps set the mood by portraying a rave scene for its setting.

The setting isn’t shown, however by the way the model is positioned, it could be portraying a club scene by her body language and costume.

The position is centred in the middle with a medium close up to show her body language and facial gesture.

The model is very attractive with her long black hair and pretty features, which help sell this and attract its target audience. The model represents the typical female gender, by showing her flesh and being attractive in a sexual way. This is trying to help promote the CD by attracting its consumer.  

The font ‘HARDCORE NATION 2009’ is very bold in capital letters which has a big impact on the audience. The title is slanted to the same angle of the image, which creates a feeling that the model is combined and tagged to the title reinforcing that she is hardcore.

 

There seems to be special context on the cover, saying its been mixed by two of the biggest names in hardcore, Stu Allan and Joey Riot. This helps attracts the consumer and helping promoting the CD by using well known names, to help it stand out from the other albums.
