Party in the USA features a purple background which shows that it's target audience is girls. She has a very cute, innocent face. This is supported by the purple background. However her punky accessories contradict the look, perhaps to appeal to a wider audience.
It's interesting that three fonts have been used. I would have thought that it was more professional to be consistent in the font and font size but Miley pulls this off well. I think the inky pen style in Miley really suits the tone of the design and album itself.
Miley is placed in the center of the cover, perhaps to show importance but more likely because there isn't much else going on. Note she is in decent clothing that an everyday girl might wear.
In this album Miley looks much more relaxed. She's sitting down with her golden microphone and looks very happy and at ease. She still has a slightly punk look with the gloves. However her main outfit is a pretty normal female outfit. The gold star above 'breakout' matches the gold/cream theme of the cover. I like how 'Miley Cyrus' is written along the side of the cover. It follows her body upwards giving a symmetrical and even appearance. There is differences in the fonts again, this time in colour. This is, again, interesting because I would have naturally chosen to keep the font the same throughout.
Miley is placed to the right of the album with the titles to the left. This cover is again very simplistic and features just an image of her and the titles. She has remained with the same target audience as the last two covers. Although appealing mostly to girls, her appearance is highlighted on the cover to appeal to teenage guys.
Two fonts have been used again. This works well for Miley.
Here Miley has broken free of her good girl image. She 'can't be tamed' and her clothes show this. Her slight punky bad girl image has taken over and she's in full costume. She's no longer in clothes worn by everyday girls. She still looks beautiful but has chosen to show off some more tummy.
She has moved to the center of the cover as again nothing much is going on.
Interestingly the same font and colour is used for the first time. It's also printed across her body rather than to the side. I like the look of this one because it's bold and ties in well with the title.
Miley has returned to the side again, but this time the left. She's kept the rougher look, in leather trousers and sharp high heels.
For the first time the visuals link obviously to the title. She's holding a rose and looking sad as the title suggests. As she's maturing so is the nature of her albums and her musical style. She's clearly trying to break away from her Disney girl connotations as seen in the first album.
Again the same font and colour is used, and it's actually the same as the previous album. I like the idea of choosing a font as a kind of motif. I also like how there are many more links inside the album. The colour of the rose matches the text.
Here Miley has changed completely. She's become pretty radical, as shown by Wrecking Ball. Her new hair style is unique and is usually worn better than in this album cover. The layout of this cover is very different to her previous albums. She's placed in the center in just a rain coat which has strayed very far from her old casual with a hint of punk style.
The title of the album is made to look like a bar sign which is obviously aimed at a more mature audience. Her previous audience probably wouldn't know what this was. Bangerz also has some more adult implications.
The font chosen for 'Miley Cyrus' is unusual for her. Both words are placed on the top and bottom respectively. They are also different colours. She has gone back to using different colours for her title and ditched the 'motif' font.
