Female Artists - Album Covers

The following album covers have inspired me with several different ideas for the design of our own album cover. Researching different female artist album covers has given me a clear understanding on the typical conventions used in female artist albums. I have found that italic writing is a typical characteristic used along with full body shots or medium shots. Evidently, this reflects the feminine character. Some of the album covers include a close-up shot of the artist, depicting them as the main focus of the album. The audience feel as though the artist is looking directly at them and therefore this allows the album to feel more personal.
