Star Image - The Jonas Brothers

The Jonas Brothers - Album Covers


This is there artwork from there debut album; this is early on so there image and style reflects their youth. The clothing, jeans, t-shirt and hoodie suggest their youth and maybe hints at the rebellious and fun side to them. Their whole stance is very "cool" and so is the fact that they have their hands in their pockets; it makes them look "laid back" and again, "cool". I think the colours work well, the black and white on the red makes the album cover really stand out, possibly to reflect the band standing out from your average boy band. I think this album cover represents their image and music at that particular time (2006). This would probably appeal more to the female audience, and maybe the boys that aspire to be like them.


This is the artwork off of their second album. The smart clothing and fancy font suggest maturity from their last album. This could symbolise a change in their music but what it definitely is, is a change of image for the brothers. The lack of colour and the gold font also suggest a more mature star image. They are directly looking into the camera thus instantly making a connection with the audience and its a slight low angle making them seem more powerful. I would say this is aimed for girls, perhaps targeting older girls than they did with their last album cover.


Not much change in image in terms of this album cover. Again they're in very suave attire. Due to the lack of colour again, the red really stand out. There isn't much change from their last album however from their first album, there certainly is a progression and from beginning to now the change in image has helped them stay current.


The use of white and brown gives it a masculine quality. Its slightly more colourful than previous albums however they've kept the fancy font to give it class. Their clothing is what you would also call "fashionable". This again is aimed at girls; the direct address via looking into the camera and medium close-up shots creates an instinct connection with the girls. Girls would consider the Jonas Brothers to be heart throbs.
