Album covers continued

Plan B- 'Who Needs Actions When You Got Words'
* The artist is alone in a room which is old, tarnish and cluttered.
This could symbolise his work ethic and theory process. This gives a
possible insight for the audience into who the artist really is. The room
looks lived in which could suggest that the artist is original and not clean cut.

* The album title is a rhetorical question which leaves a lasting thought in
the audience's head, long after they first looked at the cover. This is a clever
advertising technique, which is effective. The title is painted on the wall which
suggest that it is intended not to be rubbed off. This makes it more of a bold statement.


Tinchy Stryder- 'Catch 22'
* The background is very bright and vibrant which draws in the audiences eye.
It also looks like it has had effects performed onto it, which makes it seem unreal.
This links in with the artist style of commercial music, which is very influenced with
effects e.g. echos and auto tune.

* Tinchy looks as if he is on a surf board. This is unrealistic because he is not
on a real background, but it gives the cover an element of light heartedness and fun.

* The title 'Catch 22' indicates a predicament or problem which sets ground for the album.



Roll Deep- 'Rules And Regulations'
* The cover has a wild west, cowboy look to it. This is because of the dark,
lived in brown of the background, and the groups name which is on a poster
background.

* The album title goes with the western theme because during those times,
people had to abide by the rules of authoritative figures e.g. Sheriff's, because
they face harsh consequences e.g. jail.

* 'Roll Deep' is in a modern font which looks like graffiti, and this contrasts the
historical western theme of the background.



Kanye West- '808's And Heartbreak' (Hip/Hop)
* This cover is very plain and has a heart being ripped by two hands as
its featured image. This could suggest the album has an emotional input by
the artist. Secondly that the album has been computer generated because the
image isn't real or of a person.



Gym Class Heroes- 'The Paper cut Chronicles' (Rock/Hip/Hop)
* The cover has the front man's silhouette as its image. He has his back to
the camera and he is holding his arms out. There is also tower blocks in the
background. This suggests that he is communicating some kind of image to
the city in front of him.

* The cover is very imaginative because of the colours and patterns. The green
background looks fresh and clean and this contrasts the dark colours of the
silhouette and band name


I have decided to research album covers out of my music genre because i want to draw
from other inspirations and styles. This will show that i can be imaginative and do not just /
stick to what other Grime covers looks like. This will enable my products to have unique elements.
