Planning and research - Album covers

I have looked at several album covers by a variety of artists to compare the difference between whether they have an image of the artist on the cover or not and how much graphics and special effects are used.

Skrillex does not use an image of the artist and rely's mainly on the bold graphics with the attention to detail on the colour combinations to make the name stand out.

Katy Perry's album cover has lots of connections with her song 'Teenage dream' with the candy cane style writing and the pink candy floss clouds makes the album cover very girly and childish. yet with her in minimal clothing keeps her sexy idol image.

Justin Biebers album is in contrast to both of the other albums as he has made the focus on the album name rather than his name. I feel he did this because when this album was released he had already made himself popular so the majority of the population would recognize his face. I also feel that in comparison to some artists Justin is selling himself as a brand, relying on his image to sell his music.
