This document discusses and analyzes several album cover designs. It notes that Calvin Harris' cover has an electronic feel shown through its futuristic font and silver glasses. It also analyzes a Plan B cover that features the artist's face but also a prop that steers the audience away from a mainstream R&B/pop audience. Finally, it summarizes that Rihanna's cover follows typical conventions for R&B/pop albums by featuring her face and using a skinny white font and exaggerated red colors that have become associated with her image.

1. Calvin Harris has a an
electronic feel to his
music,
Which is shown in the
font
Of the title, it looks
like the
Font on an old
computer, and
How it looks futuristic
by using
The block silver
glasses, and
Mysterious in covering
the
Figures identity. It
shows that
The music is less R&B
as it is
not Calvin harris’
face on the
cover.

2. This front cover is
probably my
favourite as the
image in the
Background has
absolutely
Nothing to do with
the song,
Or the artist, But it
grabs
The buyers
attention because
The contrast in the
colours
Of the title, and the
background,
And the font it bold
and
noticeable.

3. This cover is simple but
still says
A lot. It has the logo for the
band
In the a contrasting colour
to the
Background so it is easy to
Distinguish but also with
Ben
(from plan B)’s face on it, It
shows
That it is moving toward
the more
Mainstream audience of
R&B and
Pop. Although, the prop in
front him
On the cover, steers away
from that
Kind of audience, by being
associated with older,
more classic
Music,

4. At the time that this
CD came out
The colours used
where very
Popular as it was in
fashion
To wear bright colours,
and the
Font is strange and
almost like
Graffiti which would
suit the
Kind of audience it is
aimed at. The design
is exciting and I live
the use of colour of font
against the contrasting
background.

5. This image for a front
cover is typical of the
R&B pop genre, where it
is expected that the
artist would have their
face on the front cover.
Rihanna has used a
skinny white font which
is also typical for a
female artist as a it
symbolises femininity.
The colours in the
picture have also been
edited to exaggerate the
red, which brings out the
colour of her hair and
her lipstick. The colour
red being the thing that
most people associate
Rihanna with at this
moment in time.
