Excisting Covers Within My Genre

Here are four covers from R&B female artists: Mariah Carey, Rhianna, Alicia Keys and Beyonce. Before I created my own digipak and cover, I wanted to gather specific ideas and designs so I could bridge a starting point and then build upon my own. When looking at these covers, I can gather how they are all either close-ups or extreme close-ups of the artist. It is also clear what genre of music they centre in, being R&B. Even though they are close-up's it is apparent, by their facial expressions, make-up and hair that they are obviously female R&B singers. Each of these covers would attract their target audience, being primarily teenage and young adult girls. I then decided I would use a similar technique when creating my own cover, using close-ups and making the artist appear glamorous and attractive.
