This document analyzes and summarizes several album covers. It discusses elements like the artist name, album title, image of the artist, and other design features. For example, it notes that 2pac's album cover uses a gangster spelling of "eyez" and dark colors to create an image of arrogance and wanting attention. It also explains that 50 Cent's cover emphasizes his tattoos and bullet-hole crossed chain to reference his past and build his image. Across the covers, common techniques include using the artist name and album title prominently, close-up images of the artist to represent their persona, and fonts or colors to make elements stand out.

1. Arms in the air perhaps suggest that she is
dancing, this links with the album title
Dance Anthems.
The blurred
purple blue
and pink lights
are
representative
of a night club
due to the
neon lights.
One third of the CD cover
is sued to name all the
attributing artists.
Showing this allows the
buyer to see the highlight
performers such as
‘Jason Derulo’.
The Composers Logo is on
the Album as
advertisement but also to
tell the audience that they
are Ministry of Sound who
are very popular.
The Album even includes
what is included, 40
tracks is a unique selling
point as normal CD’s
don’t offer that many
songs, so in that
perspective this album is
more music to money.

2. This
Medium/Close
of 2pac sells an
image,
commercial
exhibitionist,
this is how he
wants the public
to view him. The
bling is
sterotyoical as
all rappers wear
it to create an
image.
The album name is included ‘All eyez on me’ firstly ‘eyez’
is spelt in a gangster way to help create this over image
of 2pac and his music. The name of the album itself
suggest that he is fairly arrogant and wants to be centre
of attention.
The artists name 2pac is
included to show the audience
that it is the famous 2pac.
The colours are very dark without a all black background
and the only colour is his gold bling maybe that is trying
to be emphasized. The lack of colour means that there
isn’t much to the cover.

3. The artists name is put on the CD cover ‘Ellie
Goulding’ to tell the audience if they didn’t
recognise her face they know its her. This
album cover is very bare with not much
information but everyone knows her music.
The album name is also included;
the bold font type is powerful
because it’s simple and clear. The
gold colour font stands out
compared to the other colours
which are more dark.
This medium/close up of Ellie shows the emotion
and her overall image which she wants the
audience to see. In some aspects this is an
example of ‘commercial exhibitionist’ where she
is trying to sell an overall image. This action shot
of her pouting and her hair flying around looks
good on the cover and could attract males and
females.
The gold
sparks/stars add
colour to the cover
photo which
follows the same
colour as the
gold/light writing.
The gold dust just
makes the album
cover look more
rustic and
authentic.

4. The Album name is included in a
gangster/italics font which looks quiet
cool. The album name itself must have
some meaning, maybe his famous quote
or something along those lines.
The artist name is included in a big bold
font which catches the audience’s attention
straight away.
This medium/close
shot of 50 cent could
be seen as
commercial
exhibitionist as he is
trying to sell and
image to his
audience. 50 cent
standing there
topless shows that
‘he lifts’ and he is
able to show off his
body as he has a lot
of muscle. The
tattoos also help
build this overall
image.
The bling
cross is
emphasised
by the bullet
hole in the
glass maybe
he is trying
to emphasise
his religion or
maybe he
just wants to
show off his
bling.
Perhaps the
bullet hole is
a subliminal
message to
50 cents past
and how he
survived 9
shots to the
body.
This si a warning to the audience that his
music may not be suitable for people under
a certain age. This is essential to have as
people who have never heard 50 cents
music may nto know he swears a lot.
