Front Cover

The writing on the album cover is black which contrasts with the album cover itself which is blue. This makes the name of the artist stand out so people can see who it is singing. The artist herself, being Beyoncé is the main attraction on the album cover. The photo is taken from a low angle which shows her power in the music business as it’s as if she is looking down on other artists. She also has her top open which is showing her confident and sexual side. The name of the album is 4, which is simple yet people will remember the name. The 4 is black which also contrasts with the background therefore standing out.

Back Cover

The colour scheme is matching their front cover with a light coloured background and then the name of the artist and album name is in black and bold located at the top of the cover. There is also another picture showing the Beyoncé posing which make give out the idea she is confident in herself and her music. This back cover is set out very clean cut with everything having its own space working around the actual back image.

CD

The CD itself is very simple but yet eye-catching again due to the fact it is red and had a black ‘B’ on it which stands out and still shows that the album is Beyoncé Knowles.

Front Cover

The colours used on the front of the album are red white and black. These colours work well together because the black and white helps the red contrast and stand out to make the album eye-catching. The background has the effect of a newspaper article blended in and faded out to give the idea the artist is important and will be known in the media press for being famous. He is also wearing a crown which represents royalty which may suggest he is the king of rap and people respect him in this industry. The picture of the actual artiest is the main image of the front cover and is edited to look like it has been drawn. This shows that the artiest is the main object on the picture and that he is creative with not just his music but also his album covers as this makes them more eye-catching and people will want to look and buy it.

Back Cover

The colour scheme on the back is different from the front as it uses a Jamaican flag at the top blended in which represents the country this artiest is from. Above the flag are a group of people which may represent Biggie Smalls followers and the people who respect him and want him to do well in his music. Once again, the artiest is the main focus on the back cover as well as the front cover. The artiest is wearing black so the quote going across him in white stands out. The album names are going across the screen almost like film credits which makes this album back cover different to others.

The back cover follows the same concept as the front with the background being dull and the writing being a bright eye-catching colour so people can easily look at it and understand it as it stands out from the background. The song names are in a list form which is also easy for the audience to read.
