As within this project we also have to make CD covers and promotional posters for our band, we looked at the different types for the hip-hop genre, looking at what works to make a CD look appealing to the type of people who will be buying it.
After looking at these types of covers, we saw that there were key differences with the American and English rappers. As seen with the music videos too, because the American rappers have a more expensive and flashy videos, whereas, English rappers videos can seem more real, yet with elements of wealth sometime showing. A clear CD cover showing this is the 50cent cover, with the Gucci designer clothes, the 'bling' and bullet holes. In contrast with the minimilstic, yet effective Wretch32 cover. Plain background, black and white colours making his face stand out much more
With our CD cover we wanted to combine both aspects, but to focus on his upper body and face and for wealth to show through the clothes. We would also edit the cover so we would have a unique view.
