This is their fourth 'studio' album released in 2007 and as you can see it is styled very different from all previous albums, with the album sectioned off into different triangles, with a girl n each section.

I like the idea of the ropes 'tangling' them up as their are posed as trying to escape.

They are all dressed in simple white strappy tops, with their hair tied back and they are all wearing bold colours of eye shadow on their eyes.

Make up, dressing and hairstyles will be important to think about in my shoot.

This is the band's latest album released in 2008. It is my favourite album cover out of all of them, as i think it looks the most interesting.

The cover consists of a full body shot, which i will be doing with the girls all posed in different positions while standing in a row, which i think looks more interesting then doing similar positions like their previous album covers.

The are all dressed in different dresses and different high heels, and i like the fact that the dresses and heels are all bright, bold colours and contrast with each other. i like the fact they don't match in with the shoes.

'Girls Aloud' (the band name) is written in big letters behind them which i like because it looks really appealing and the album title is written in another colour underneath. The lighting also looks effective with the black letters at the back having light shining on them helping to highlight them and also creating a shadow of the letters on a shiney floor beneath. This album cover is very different from the bands first album cover and it was interesting to see how they have changed over the years.

Girls Aloud Research into their albums

As you can see from their first album cover, the band is presented simply, with all members standing against a plain white background, dressed in black to help make them stand out. They are all doing relatively relaxed poses with arms by their sides. As the album was released in 2002, you can see from the outfits that they now look slightly outdat

ed, for instance the crop tops and baggy trousers. 

This is the second album, released in 2004, there is a clear difference in how the band are posed and their whole style. including different haircuts creating a more updated image. The photograph is very different from the last album; all the girls are looking in different directions, wearing strappy tops and photoshopped into postion where only their heads and arms are revealed, with the the Girls Aloud logo postioned in front of them.

Their 3rd album released in 2005 again has a different style. The band are wearing colour coded clothes in red are the shot focuses on their face and hair (with similar hair styling), with the girls faces postioned close to each other.

This album released in 2006 is very different to all the others as it does not involved a photo shoot of them. Instead it is a drawing or has been photoshopped with the girls represented by dark silhouettes in the picture.
