Album Artwork

Some albums have very artistic and creative covers to draw attention to the creativity of that artist. Some may relate to the songs in the album and others may portray the type of music the artists makes.  Coldplay have set a theme of colourful and graffiti artwork which can reflect moods of the songs, it also gives it a young and urban look to appeal to younger audiences. 

Female artist either portray their artwork through an artistic, fashionable or revealing way. For Example Rihanna shows an edgy look because of the sharp ‘R’ symbol and her facial expression, this is important as her look has to be appealing particularly as she is a worldwide superstar. Male artists such as Ed Sheeran may use a simple portrait with artistic effects to make it stand out like the oranges used. 

Different girl-bands and boy-bands also portray different looks and statements that they want to hold. The Saturdays show more of a girly look which matches with the image of the cover and this attracts wider audiences giving a typical pop music look. But some bands like The Script show a more artistic look as they have a silhouette of the main member of the band and the other two members are cleverly photographed onto the silhouette.
