The genre of this album is R&B and Hip hop I feel that this is obvious buy this cover as they bright colours are used to make it stand out and it looks as if it is graffiti which is used and related to hip hop. The artist on this CD cover is Chris Brown. The Title is ‘F.a.m.e’ this could suggest that he is doing well in his music career and this is an album to emphasis his success. The setting of this album cover is that is has various pictures of Chris Brown in different colours and different camera angles this is what is in the background of the cover, in the foreground is the title which is fame and a mid shot of Chris brown in the colours of the rainbow. The artist is represented in a way in which it is a mid shot showing from the shoulders above, he is wearing a multi colour jacket. In the pictures next to the main central picture he is wearing a hat, the image is reflected. The emotion on the artists face is serious and as if he is focused. The target audience for this specific type of cover would be someone that is drawn to something bright and complex the age and gender would be teenagers and would be male.
The genre of this artist is Dubstep and drum & bass. I feel that this isn’t obvious from the image as it is a picture of a dog in the background and the artist name in the foreground with the name of the album, they could be doing this because it is the complete opposite and is unexpected to be an album cover. The artist is Chase and Status they aren’t on the front cover of the album, the album title is called ‘No more idols’ this could suggest that they have no idols to look up to as they are at the top of their career and they feel there are no more idols that they may look up to now. The setting of the cover is that in the background of the cover is a black and white image of a bulldog which is stereotypically vicious and quite loud, this could represent their music as loud and upbeat and in the foreground of the cover it has the artist name and the name of the album is which is yellow to make stand it out and bright to draw attention to the name. I think the artist isn’t on the band as it helps to make them remain hidden and a question of who they are and what they look like and it will become a massive thing in their next album when and if they appear on the front cover. The camera angle of this image is a close up of the dog this could suggest that the music is in your face, loud and noticeable. The target market for this album would be someone that is into upbeat and loud music the specific age for this type of music would be late teens early twenties because it the type of music that is played at clubs and festivals. The gender would aim at males but some females may find an interest in it.
The genre of this music is pop rock I feel that it is obvious in the picture as pink is biting a chain which can show as vicious and fearless it is in black and white but you can see the thick eyeliner round her eyes to emphasis her expression . The artist is Pink who is known for her punk rock style of music she is on the front cover of the album which is called ‘Greatest hits so far’ I feel that is ideal for her to be on it as it is her greatest hits so far and she wants to give the best impression of them all and her success for the past years. The background of the CD cover is a photo of pink in black and white biting and chain and in the foreground it has ‘Pink’ across the CD in bright pink to make it stand out and that it is noticeable that it is her also the title of the album is in white on the pink background so that it is also noticeable. The way in which Pink is represented is this image is that her costume is a plain white vest keeping it basic drawing all the attention to her facial expressions, the props that have been used is the chain, her body language and gestures show that she doesn’t care and is there to show what he has and she isn’t afraid to show it. The ideal market for this would be a female teenager that is into punk rock and doesn’t care about what other people think as pink helps to elaborate on how it doesn’t matter what your like or who you aspire to be.
