CD Covers:

 Looking at these covers it is clear the genre we have picked uses various different styles. A typical convention of any album cover is to have the artist's name and a photo of the artist(s) on the cover, as well as the name of the album. Looking at these covers it seems that the album and artist name nearly always feature, possibly more for practical reasons than anything else as it allows the audience to know what they're buying. However, it is not as typical to have the artist on the cover, particularly it seems with bands made up of men. Instead their covers often feature women or a piece of artwork accompanied by the artist and album name. The female artists more typically feature themselves. I think it is interesting that both genders seem to feature females on the cover, this is possibly something to consider for ours as it clearly appeals to the audience. The male artist covers are more simple so are probably aimed slightly more at males, or represent the the fact that the artist is male. The female artwork is more artistic and creative, which could again represent the artist but also be more aimed at females. However, I think all these album covers appeal to both genders overall. The typed words also reflect the band or the album in particular. They're either the bands logo or a very simple stand out font, which could represent the music itself.
