The front cover of James Blunt's album "Some Kind of Trouble" depicts a person catching a child being thrown in the air, suggesting a message rather than focusing on the artist. The inside contains song lyrics laid out like a book. On the disc tray, a distant shot of Blunt by himself in a grey color scheme emphasizes simplicity and lyrics over appearance. The ripped page effect on the left further connects it to the singer-songwriter genre.

2. Front Cover
Just by looking at the cover of this album it would be
hard to tell what genre of music it would fall under if you
had never listened to them before. The cover clearly
denotes a person catching a small child that had
presumably been thrown up just before. What you can
recognise in this cover is that the artist is not the centre
of attention (which is common in most singer-songwriter
album covers). There seems to be more of a message to
the audience displayed with this choice of cover.
The hands at the bottom of the cover seem to look like they are another Childs
hands throwing the baby up into the air. This relates to the choice of the album
name and the artist may be singing from the small Childs perspective.
The font on the front is the same font used for the artist name, album title, and
track list on the back cover again connoting simplicity from a singer-songwriter
perspective.

3. Inside Cover
The inside cover/sleeve is
created again in a fold out
booklet form again with the
lyrics of the songs planned out
through each page of the
booklet. This feature seems to be
common across artists who fall
under the singer-songwriter
category, and could connote that
lyrics are stronger than
appearance to the artists.

4. Disc tray
Now we can actually see the artist
himself. The shot is at a distance and is
not very clear to the eye. Because he is
by himself with a grey colour scheme
blended in it gives off an omen of
simplicity in appearance with once again
the main motif being lyrics and the
meaning they deliver.
There is also to the left of the cover a side margin that looks to be like this picture
has been ripped out of a notepad. This gives off another impression that it is of a
singer-songwriter genre because it is commonly associated that the artists write
down lyrics in notepads.

5. The Back cover
The back covers main image is the
track list with two silhouette images
with the background being a distant
sunset. The silhouettes could relate to
the album name connoting to stay in
the shadows if in trouble.
