CD artwork research



Photography, when framed at the right moment can catch something special that will look good on an album cover. This shot of the dog in mid air works really well in creating a sense of humour. A website claimed that the album in fact wasn't very good, but with the effect that the album cover creates, you wouldn't think so.



An abstract design, very unusual and not really used often. It may not join the rap genre, but it's design is something unique, it creates an illusion where you will feel that it is animated when you stare at it.



A typical design for mixtapes. The artist will be placed centre, with any additional artists in the mixtape, with a background of something stereotypical of the rap genre, e.g. cars, women, money, jewellery, drugs. Some of these can look good, such as the one above, whereas others will look badly made and will more than likely convince you not to get a copy of it.



A cover so simple, yet it looks really good. Nothing complex is going on with this cover, just a tick with lots of colours on it, and that's all you need to see. A tick signifies something that has passed some test, something positive, thats enough to convince you to buy the album.
