Different genre, different design.

It's pretty obvious different music genres have different album cover designs. This is because they attract different audiences, and need to appeal to different 'types' of people.



Pop;   This is a popular music CD. I've already analysed it in my second blog post, but i'll do it again. It has bright colours, and the popular name/brand of the CD in big letters on the front, making it stand out again other CD's in shops, also making it easy for someone to find. They're released 3 or 4 times a year, each time featuring the popular music at that time.


Pop/ Rock; CD covers like these normally have an artistic picture on the front, often related to the lyrics of a popular song on the CD. They also have a certain text for the band/artist, like the 'Paramore' on the front of this one, this text/font is used on most of their album covers. I think it gives all the albums a kind of connection, making them all similar in a way.






Rock;
