The main image on this album cover is the artist, Chamillionare. It is a close up shot of his face so I interpret this as he wants you to look at his face and not his body. The colours used are white, blue and grey, Though Rihanna uses these colours on her album cover. The title of the album is written in a dark blue distressed font, and like Rihanna it is going horizontally across the album cover.

The cap sexy but natural and not overdone. She is longing back against a wall, hands clasped and gazing dreamily at the is patterned with a keyboard design, showing a fun side of him.

It is quite an hands clasped together looks young and innocent. The picture is black and white which gives the album cover an intimidating image as it looks like he is interrogating someone- this ties in with the fierce title of ‘The Sound Of upmarket, sophisticated feel and because of her make up Revenge’. The main image is cloaked in an smoky effect, like and clothing she looks more like an actress from decades ago rather than an R'n'b singer.

Regina Spektor;; Begin To Hope;; Alternative Rock/Experimental/Acoustic. The main image of this album cover is the artist, Regina Spektor. It is a black and white edited image- you can see very little detail on her face; it resembles a blank mask of white with eyes and lips. Her hair is messily styled and black because of the edited photo. You can make out a Star of David charm on her necklace, this is because she is from a Jewish Russian family and many of her songs reflect this. Her facial expression is like she is daydreaming or hoping for something, this ties in with the album’s title; Begin To Hope. Regina Spektor and the album title (which is printed in maroon) is all in lower case letters. This gives it a childlike, youthful edge, this is emphasised with stars draped over the text and dotted around the cover. The stars and the album title are the only coloured items on the cover which gives a stark contrast which is very effective. Lisa Lashes;; Lashed;; Hard House/Trance/Dance.

most females involved in the dance music industry. Most of the other DJs, singers and models are tanned blondes in bright clothing whilst Lashes looks quite gothic and would not look out of place in a rock band. Her hair is a dark, unnatural red, she is wearing thick eyeliner and is dressed in all black with a piercing on her lip. The only other details that fit the conventions of a dance album are the fonts and the square graphics that decorate the otherwise, blank album cover. The font on the cover is a magenta faux-monarch styled font and the white graffiti ‘mixed by Lisa Lashes’ across from the main image of Lisa. Despite the hard, stark contrast of black and pink Lisa looks innocent and is gazing away from the camera, like Regina Spektor does on her album cover.
