2. This is the front cover of Beyonce’s song
halo. The image is very plain and simple
which adds to the effect of her message.
This effect is to show that she is innocent
and naive. Beyonce’s make up is also very
plain and simple which enhances the
message of her being angelic. The picture
has no colour, which allows the audience to
focus mainly on the artist herself and her
album name making it easier for the
audience to remember the title and image
of the single when purchasing.
3. This is the back of Beyonce’s CD
cover for her single Halo. There are
many conventions on this back
cover; record labels, barcodes,
name of artist and single name
repeated. However it also goes
against the norm as there is also
an advertising technique used in
order to increase sales and profit
for this artist. Their is an additional
front CD cover of one of Beyonce’s
additional albums. This allows the
audience to purchase more of the
artists music. The picture used on
the back of the cover is also very
plain and simple which adds to the
simplicity of Beyonce’s innocent
theme. The picture of the beach is
carried on from the front to the
back of the CD which shows the
audience that both pieces are
connected.
4. The CD cover is for Beyonce’s
single Halo. The typography
used throughout the CD cover
is also used on the CD itself,
allowing there to be no
confusion and making it easier
for the audience to
acknowledge that this
particular CD goes with the CD
cover. The CD also uses the
same simple beach picture
that is used on both the front
and the back of the CD cover.
Publishers and record labels
are also included on this CD.

7. The background of the CD cover goes against the custom of
CDs. This is because, usually, the same colours used on the
front and back of the CD cover are used on the CD itself.
However, this goes against the standard procedure of using
the same image throughout the CD cover.
Included just the
album name, this
goes against the
norm as the
artists name is
usually also
included.
The record labels and
publishers is a
convention used on
many CD’s in order to
secure them by law
