Album covers are important for artists as they can give meaning and insight into the band and the songs. It is also a chance for the artist to have creative input in imagery rather than through their music.
From a marketing point of view, an important use for album covers is that they can help sell the product; the covers are often eye catching so they can be spotted amongst a shop full of other CD’s and draw the attention of the buyer. They also often conform to the stereotypes of the genre, making it easy to distinguish and recognise what type of music it is.
I will be analysing three different album covers and looking at what conventions they use and how they use them. I will also look at the difference between genres within album covers. This will give me a better understanding of previous products and also provide inspiration for when i make my own.
