Beginning
  We as a group decided to research Album
   covers as promotional covers use album
   covers.
  We needed to find out the codes and
   conventions of the album cover so we can use
   them in improving our promotional cover.
  So our Initial action when researching album
   covers was to look at different hip hop groups
   and their album covers. We research the
   famous rapper 2 Pac, Eazy E, Fort Minor and
   others such as T.I.

                                                                                                                   Tupac - Resurrection
The montage of images creating an interesting effect as
it illustrates the life of the rapper Tupac. Consequently
such an effect compliments the main image of the artist
thus resulting in an efficient album cover.
Moreover the lighting used within the album cover
makes an exceptional effect as we can almost feel a
sense of fading, this is due to the effects of light and
the fade of the main image. Both effects compliment
each other to make a much more efficient an interesting
album cover.

Colour –
The use of two colours within the album cover makes
it easier to relate the main image with the montage of
images. Moreover the fade effect illustrates the death
of the rapper. This is due to the fade representing the
artist fading into history.

Typography –
The text on the album cover consists of the Artist
name written in a graffiti font which relates to the
music tribe. While the Album name is in simple font,        Layout –

Imagery –
                  The album cover consist of a main image in the middle of the
                  album cover.
                  The dominant image makes it much more eye catching which in
                  turn makes it easier to attract the targeted audience.
                  Moreover the fade to white with the image makes an attractive
                  effect, which illustrates the artist as the superior, someone the
                  targeted audience can relate to.
                  Typography –
                  The text consists of the album name “Eazy E” and
                  “FEATURING”.
                  These two text used to compliment each other makes the artist
                  sound like a legend thus some who the target audience is
                  attracted towards.
                  Moreover the use of graphics with the text makes an exquisite
                  effect which allows for a much more efficient album cover as
                  the interesting effects are attractive to the eyes of the target
                  audience.
                  Font of the text “Eazy E” is a traditional graffiti font which the
                  targeted audience of the hip-hop music tribe will be able to
                  relate themselves to.

                  Colour –
Eazy E – Eazy E




                  The colours within the album cover are simple and
                  plain, how ever the effect of the background to make
                  it look like old paper is quite attractive as my eyes

                  together to make a single effect which we believe is                 right section of the album cover.
                  appealing to the eyes of the target audience.
Imagery –
                               Rather than an artist, an image is placed on the album cover
                               to represent the band while expressing the creativity of the
                               artist. Something which the targeted audience will relate
                               themselves to.
Fort Minor – The Rising Tide




                               Typography –
                               The Artist Name is accompanied by their Logo which relates
                               the album to the band.
                               Moreover the font used for the Artist name is interesting has it
                               has an erosion effect while the bold text makes it easy to
                               catch the eyes of the audience.
                               Similarly, the Album name is written in a calligraphy font, this
                               creates an effect which is almost indescribable. But as we
                               looked at the Album cover, the writing and the images remind
                               of the streets, graffiti and the hip-hop music tribe. This is due
                               to the codes and conventions of the music tribe being followed
                               thus is something the targeted audience will relate themselves
                               with.
                               Colours –                                                           Layout –

                               are hooked onto the album cover.
T.I. - KING
Imagery –
The large main image in exceptionally good as the correct use
of the shadow to fade the image into the black background.
This effect results in a well designed album cover which is
able to attract the audience much easily.


 Typography –
 The typography consists of the artist name and the album
 name with the same font and size. This we believe links
 the text together as they relate the artist with king. This is
 purposely done to not only illustrate the album name but
 to illustrate the artist as the KING.
 The white colour of the text strongly contrasts with the
 black background making it eye catching for the target
 audience. This in turn makes the album cover much better
 at attracting the targeted audience.




 Colour –                                                         Layout –

Consequently such an effect compliments the main image of the artist thus resulting in an efficient album cover.

Both effects compliment each other to make a much more efficient an interesting album cover. Colour – The use of two colours within the album cover makes it easier to relate the main image with the montage of images. Moreover the fade effect illustrates the death of the rapper.
