Ed Sheeran-Star Image

Ed Sheeran is an English acoustic musician/singer and song writer. He write songs which are inspired by his own personal experiences.

Ed Sheeran is known for his crazy ginger hair. The orange cd cover may represent this, as it is part of his image. 

The text is fairly simple, however his name is in a different font. This is the main focus of the cover. s his name is the main focus of the cover, it implies that everything about the album is his choice, work, or decision. He is promoting himself as a unique individual.  

The simple contrast of the white against the orange keeps the cover very simple but bold. Too many colours would over power the subtle picture of Ed in the background. 

Here we can see Ed Sheerans typical image. He is wearing a casual t-shirt and hoodie, with his signature bracelets around his wrist. He always looks casual and simple, which suggests he wants the focus to be on his music rather than his image. 

Ed also has a sleeve of tattoos. 

He had a tattoo of a cup of tea, which he said represents that he's Northern, in an MTV news interview. 

He also has a cat on his wrist. The cat is Puss from 'Puss in boots' the movie. This is a reoccurring theme in Ed Sheerans image, throughout his music videos (e.g Drunk), he has a paw print on his album, and even his car.  

These are some more of his tattoos. There is a lot of orange in these images, reflecting the colour of his album, etc. 

These tattoos represent his characteristics and his favourite things.
