R & P post 10: Album covers that have inspired and influenced my ideas

From this task I have learnt that album covers can be catogorised in a variety of ways;
- By genre, rock tends to be a lot more edgier or in black and white, for example U2.

- Whether the focal image is of artwork or of people, following on from this is the artist in a band or solo?

- This also leads me to consider the media used-animation, photography, artwork, graphics etc. 

My group looked at a range of album covers to broaden our knowledge and understanding of what they often consist of. 

As our album is the first album we will include a photo of the artist on the cover as this is very common with debut albums. 

Artwork is also very common with alternate genres and I like the idea of collaboratign artwork with photography like Prince has done below.
