The Academy Is... The album cover for The academy is.. Album fast time at Barrington high, this album is the bands third album, therefore as you can see the band don’t need to have a image of themselves on the cover of the album as they have already created a fan base that would by their album again.
Instead this albums main image is of a man and women but cuts of at their head. You can tell it is a man and women as the mise en scene they have used makes it clear, the women is wearing flip flops with her toe nails painted red, her trousers are also a little shorter than normal trousers which are made for women. On her wrist as well is a hair band again showing that she is a woman. Further more as the images of the man and the women stops at their shoulders the women blonde hair is longer than shoulder length their for establishing that she is a women.
The man however is wearing typical men clothes trainers and trousers these trousers are checked which shows that he may be individual who doesn’t mind to standout. Looking at the image shows the man legs turned away from the women’s, his hands are clasped together, his body seems to be facing away from hers. The women seems to have her legs also turned away from the man but she does not look as nervous as his, this image could show that the album may contain songs about relationships as the main image shows a man and women together but ignoring each other at the same time.
The name of the band is on the second layer of the image and stands out as it is in white with a glow coming of off it. The band name is in the font that is associated with them, as they have been using this font since their first album.
However the name of the album is in small font underneath the name of the band, it is also in brackets. The title of the album being “fast times at Barrington high” suggests that there may be many songs about young love between girls and boys as it seems to be set during their high school years being in brackets shows the band do not want to make a deal about the name of the album but it still is important and is still featured on the cover.
