Research of different genre cd covers.

I researched different genres of cd covers to show me the different appearances for different genres. I will then produce a cd cover of my own choosing a pop genre, meaning i won't be using any 'scary' or 'dark' pictures or any font that makes my cd cover look like its a metal band or emo band.
Shayne Ward cd cover has a pop genre. This is shown by the basic and bright background that looks so simple. Also the font is shown as bold and clear which just gives an overall appearance of a pop genre cd cover.
Ne-Yo is a hip hop genre cd cover. This is shown by the 'rap-up' at the left bottom corner and the photo on the front of Ne-Yo facing away from a girl. Hip hop is mainly sang/rapped about a man losing his wife/girlfriend then wanting her back.
This is a metal genre cd cover. It is easily pointed out by the way it is layed out. It shows the picture as being night time which connects to the metal band of being 'dark' and 'scary'. The name of the band shows font that you would see on a horror film, and the picture is of a dark and scary forest.
Girls Aloud is another pop cd cover. This is also shown as having a simple, bright background with a basic font which is bold. Having a basic background makes the performers stand out more especially when they wear bright colours like they are.
This shows an emo genre cd cover. You can tell its an emo cd cover straight away by the picture of the girl laying backwards on the stairs and the boy sitting at thetop. Usually emo bands are shown being in love with a boyfriend and splitting up so the girl walks away and hurts herself or the male hurts the female. The colour is dull which is not exciting so it shows to be quite depressing.
