First of all I'm looking at James Blake album cover because it directly connects with our fan base. His

album cover is fairly simple; it's just an image of him looking towards the camera. The colour theme is blacks, browns, white. The album has a dark feel to it because of the black border and the black back cover. The image is quiet peaceful and I think it relates

to his calm voice in his songs.

James Blake album back cover is pretty simple, a black background with white bold letters; and

nothing else. I think this relates to our audience because they like artists that stick to their image; James Blake is trying to

portray a simple and peaceful image, this relates

to his music. It relates to our genre because its quiet

dark and our music has a dark theme to it.

The Presets album cover is an example of an Electronic Music album cover. It relates to the

genre because there is a surreal theme to it. For example the wavy effect could relate to the wavy music and the rhythm of increasing up and down.

This relates to our audience because they want to discover an artists with a creative image because it links strongly with the theme of

electronic music. This also has a nice gradient colour to it which I could use for my album cover. It looks like most electronic music albums have a basic background and the artist is the one that is edited; this is a to connect their style of music to them. Therefore most people will look out for an artist with an edited album cover because they

want to experience that style of music. To have a heavily edited image is a way of expressing

visually how the music feels.

So here is an example of an artist that has linked in their voice with electronic music. You can see that the

cover is a simple image of two boys however they have drawn over the face of the children. Disclousure

has successfully created synergy with this style of album covers and when they do a collaboration with another artist they import this idea onto the album

cover of that artist. Its a simple but nice way of informing their fanbase that Disclousure contributed tot he album but it also helps the fan base recognize

their music easily.
