I have chosen to analyse this album cover as I know that the artist mainly raps about his past life and his album cover relates to it.

This album cover is from the album “Recovery” by Eminem. This is the focal point of the album cover as it starts from the very left till the very right of the album cover in the centre. It is in bold and capitals which indicates the feelings or the artist or what he is trying to give out to the audience about this album.

In this album you cannot see the artist name which gives him a hidden identity as on a normal album cover would have the artist name on the cover.

The main image of the album cover is of Eminem we can tell that effects like sepia have been used to give it a ‘vintage’ old worn down look, this is probably used to represent Eminem’s run down life of turmoil, how he has almost faded away into the background.

This album is called “ready” by Trey Songz. The title of the album “ready” is written in the same font as the tattoo which is on his chest to keep the similarity within the album. The title of the album is also in the colour red so it can stand out and have an appeal on the audience, it also connotes that the album is seductive and passionate, that might represent the artist 'Trey' and the songs in the album.

The background is very plain. The album as a whole is all in black and white. However the main image is Trey Songz.

In this album the main thing you notice is Trey Songz and his tattoo’s. He gives of an image to seduce women which gives him a sexy appeal to attract his audience to the album. Also by showing his muscles he gives a masculine image of himself.

I have chosen to analyse this cd album of Trey Songz as his music is of such songs which i personally enjoy listening to.

I have chosen to analyse this album cover as the artist is one of my most preferred artists and her album relates to what she sings about as what she has gone through which she sings to express herself.

Rihanna is represented in a way that makes her look fierce and sexy. She is represented as sexy because of her lack of clothing which she has made fashion for her audience to follow her, and the way in which she is looking quite seductively at the camera however she also looks fierce with the eye contact she is using and the smoke coming from her mouth which would mean she is smoking and innocent girls don't smoke so she is letting off a seductive look for her audience.

The album is called “talk that talk” by Rihanna which is clearly stated on the album cover. The title is not in large font size as the image is more attractive however it is clearly stated in the centre at the bottom.

The “R” in large font is very eye-catching to the audience. It is the letter which the artists name begins with it is also the main symbol of the album, this clearly shows that when you see this sign it is of Rihanna’s album, so it is like a logo for Rihanna
