Star image task: Album cover



Lady gaga is a key iconic figure within modern pop culture. Her star image is vital to her success, as her 'mad and wacky' image is ultimately what provokes the audience's attention. Therefore her album covers must be strong, fierce and just as thought provoking as her image itself. This album is called 'the fame' which is clear through the image of her glasses. As this was at the beginning of Lady gagas career, sunglasses were an iconic object associated with her, therefore creating a continuous star image.

A close up takes up the whole frame of the album, suggesting a direct address to the audience as well as show casing her features and her flawless image portrayed on the cover. This is emphasised by the vivid high key lighting used which creates an angelic, vibrant image.
