3 CD Covers Analysis

The music genre for this album is R&B, this is not to obvious by just looking at the album cover due to not many pictures or any indication that it is R&B. The artist is named by Drake or Drizzy, he is not on the album cover but his name takes a large part up of the cover. The title is called "So Far Gone" this suggests that the artist is trying to say something to his fans like it is not over yet or there is still more to come from the artist. The album cover shows a black background with a funky style of writing in white, on top of the writing is white image of a person leaning up to red hearts falling from the top of the cover, this can show that the music has something to do with love or trying to find it by the white image leaning up to the hearts but can't reach. The colours on the album cover suggest quite a dark mood that is very sensitive but by the funky writing it suggests that is also fun and interesting. The target market would be aimed at teenagers as it suggests it's about finding love but also with the writing very flowing and exciting which many teenagers like.
The music genre for this album cover is rock. I feel the cover shows this as it is black and white which represents rock, especially black. The band is on the front cover, but only as black figures on white background but this makes them really stand out and show the people looking at the cover that it is a rock album. The band are called Linkin Park and the album title is called "Minutes To Midnight" this suggest that the music is dark and loud due to the genre rock, many people feel that if you like rock you wear black which is represented by the album title as it is at midnight when it is dark. The setting it a white background with the band in black at the bottom standing on a dessert or rocks, this really brings out the band image and you can clearly see its a band by the amount of people on the cover. The mood set by this cover is very dark and dull but something to look at and what to know about if your into the type of music. The target market is ages from 14-40 as so many people like rock genre and linkin park are one the best rock bands, a typical fan would be known as grungers by many people who are against rock.
The music genre for this album cover is R&B. This cover clearly shows that the music genre is R&B by what the artist is wearing and the name of the artist "Lil Wayne" which is a typical R&B name for an artist. The artist is called Lil Wayne, a very famous rapper known for his strange but likeable voice and his great music. The album is called "The Carter Rebirth" this indicates the album has already been brought out as it is got rebirth on it, when an artist brings out the same album twice this usually means that is was so popular before the artist as decided to bring it back but with extras on it, "The Carter" is Lil Waynes second name, Wayne Carter. The cover shows the artist setting on a wooden block in a dirty room near the wall, the artist has his hood up, wearing sunglasses so you cant see his eyes, this shows that the music is R&B as many R&B fans wear their hoods up and look like a "bad boy" sort of person which the artist is doing on the front cover. The mood set by the album cover is almost a sense of sorry that some people in the world have to live in a room like the artist is in with not many things in it, it also suggest a bad sort of mood but also a mood to get you going into a good mood. The target audience would be aged between 10-30 with mainly just teenagers listening to it but also people in their 20's getting ready to go out or in their cars. The typical fan of Lil Wayne would be someone who doesn't care what they do and seen as a bad boy by some people but also a typical fan would be a "chav" called by some people.
