Album Art

For our album cover we looked at various covers that suit well with our genre of hip-hop. For exmaple the Jay-Z album named 'American Gangster' makes a huge statement with the dressing quite similar to the costume that Kanye West has in the Diamonds from Sierra Leone video. Once again the protagonist is the central figure and here the dressing makes him look like a boss and the lighting is not so bright which once again adds to the statement being made.






Another album cover that does show the attention that the protagonist has is the album called 'The Massacre' by Kanye West's rival 50 Cent. This cover does represent the typical hip-hop album. Once again the sense of superiority is given by the athletic figure that the rapper has. The choice of font also relates well with the genre because it shows how urban the album is.
