I took these albums from the HMV website as research into bestselling albums. I shall look into the graphology of the covers, the price, the genre of music and the popularity of the album.
Depending on the genre of music determines the look of the album cover. It seems to be that solo artists have a highly manipulated photograph of themselves to promote themselves. Colour and artwork plays a major part within digi paks; what catches the eye for its purpose and audience is how the album will sell.
For example the Peter Kay album is very colourful and jokey, whereas Florence and te Machine is very pretty, elegant and arty. This appeals to its particular audience.
Simplicity is a good way to make a powerful image. It is not too busy and you can advertise just as well.
