For this I looked into the different aspects used in album covers for our genre. I split the research into categories so to gain an idea of what is required for different types of covers. For example, artwork covers are typically more colourful and abstract than photographs, most likely as the artist can depict brighter colours or perhaps the effect is just better created. The text is always similar in that it is simple to read and very often the bands logo for the name and then a varied but matching text for the album cover. Composition varies completely, however there does seem to be a theme of text in the top third of a cover, possibly the most eye catching area and something to consider in my design. Equally though, there is text in all various places so it would not be unconventional elsewhere or in fact to have no text at all.
