RIHANNA – Loud Album Cover pop genre

The use of red and black is created to define the kind of ‘bad girl’ this singer is as well as being seductive. This indicates a close up image of her where the high key lighting is contrasted around her face in contrast with her hair that is very dark but the red balances this. The rule of thirds and Guttenberg principle is used. The first spot where the audience will identify this would be at the terminal area. Usually, this has a weak fallow but this area manipulates the viewers as her lips are the main thing that the viewers would see. The thin text below ‘loud’ is spaced out and has used a white colour for it to stand out this is because the word ‘loud’ gives us an idea of spread.

In this back cover is very different from the front cover. In the front cover she has a very rebellious look whereas in this back cover it’s more of a softer look by wearing a white dress. This back cover uses a very high key lighting around her. The text is yellow, very plain and small as this cover is more descriptive compared with most of the albums.

The CD is very pink and white which is very different from the front cover. The used image is an opened rose. This CD is edited with a higher balance and contrast.

Kings Of Leon - Aha Shake Heartbreak Cover rock genre

In contrast with their usual genre, this album is very different as it has only used bright colors with a soft black text in a high key lighting. The picture in the middle indicates a soft yellow blended with red painting of two birds facing side outwards. The text is very formal and posh positioned from the top and bottom. Also its almost squ8eezing together with plain white background left. I don’t think this image has been following the Guttenberg principle and rule of thirds.

This CD is very different compared with the front cover. This CD is in the colour red which suggests from the front cover that has blended red which may mean this includes a mixture of songs that may have different genres.

EMINEM – The Eminem Show Album Cover rap and hip hop genre

The colour of the image is very pure with the use of red and black. The person wearing black is sat on the stage behind the curtains with a black aura around him as well as in front of him. The colors are very dark which indicates that the album mainly includes gloomy songs. The position of the text is positioned above with a white colour. Its also very bold and 3D like with black around and the smaller text is spaced out. The Guttenberg principle and rule of thirds is used, with the viewers we would firstly recognize the text at the top where the last thing we would see would be the small sign of rating.

The background of the back cover is very similar to the front cover. Again, this has used soft colors where also the images include white flowers. The text of the song list is very basic where also the numbers on the side. The position is very unique where this is at the left side but is facing more on the right.

The background of the back cover is very similar to the front cover which this was after the performance where it is finished. In this back cover you can see the list of the songs that includes in the album in a white colour similar to the big text from the front cover. The text is more italic compared with the main title. The position of the background is moved to the side.

The image of the CD is faced in a high angle where you can see the wooden floor with a small proportion of the stage in red. This may indicate from the performers perspective..
