This document contains reviews of four different album covers. The first review discusses Rihanna's album cover, praising how it portrays her image as fierce, sexy and modern. The second review analyzes Lady Gaga's strange album cover featuring a motorbike-human, reflecting her weird and unique music. The third review comments on the purple color and feminine font appealing to female audiences. The fourth review likes how the dark emotions, red color, and gothic font of the cover sums up the negative, dark music inside.
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.
