This document contains summaries of 4 different album covers: 1) Rihanna's album cover portrays her as fierce, sexy, and modern, matching her music genre through the bold "R" and bright red lips. 2) Lady Gaga's strange album cover featuring a humanized motorbike reflects her weird and unique music, with only her name standing out against the dark background. 3) A purple album appeals to its target female audience through its typically feminine thin font and lighter colors, making the artists stand out in black outfits. 4) A red album cover for a dark album sums up the negative emotions and dangers suggested by the color and devil horns, preparing listeners for the "High

2. • I like this album cover and think it works well
as it portrays Rihnanna just as you would
imagine her from her genre of music, fierce,
sexy and modern which is exactly the image of
the artist on the front of the CD cover
creates. The 'R' standing for her name is
styled in a bold font, this works well as her
music and personality is bold, so it’s a great link.
The colours are mainly dark, with the exception
of her lips which I think is because that's
where the music comes from so they need to be
bright and make a point.

4. • This album cover seems very strange, and unique
because of the motorbike turned into a human being,
the reason this is like this is because it reflects on
the type of music Lady GaGa sings, the songs she has
come out with are very weird and unique so the cover
of this album gives you a taste of the songs inside and
the sort of thing you would expect to hear. The
colours are dark in the background and the only
things that are brighter is the album name and Lady
GaGa herself, this is because these are the most
important aspects of the album. The font is bulky,
usually it would be slim and feminine on female artists
covers, however it isn't here because Lady GaGa as
we know her isn't girly, she is herself and very odd,
she likes to be different therefore her album cover
isn't as we would expect it to be. The special effect
of the glow is used well as it makes the album cover
more eye catching, and perhaps comes across as more
special than other CD covers.

6. • The colour purple is very girly so this would appeal
well to everyone as it's girls who are the target
audience, not so much boys. The font used is typical
for female album covers, its tall, thin and simple;
this instantly makes it more feminine as you
wouldn't expect the font to be chunky, bold and
ugly. The artists dressed in Black makes them
stand out from the rest of the album, partly
because it contrasts with all the lighter colours in
the background but also because it makes the girls
look more attractive in a slim, black outfit. It
instantly draws your eyes to them and then allows
you to recognise who’s album it is.

8. • I like this album cover as it sums up the album
straight away, the emotions on there faces and the
effects used give off a negative, dark image which is
exactly the music going on inside. The colour Red used
works well also as the connotations of Red are blood,
death and danger; this again creates the negative
image, especially the use of the devils horn and tail
which is the link to the main song in the album
‘highway to hell’. The font is sharp, bold, thick and
gothic which is effective to us because it gives us a
great impression on the genre of the music and all the
minor details of the album all click together to work
as a whole and allows us to understand the album
before listening to it.
