album cover

This cover of Tinie Tempah's album disc-overy is a very conventional cover for a urban hip hop artist with bright colours and also shows the artist in the centre and often has jewellery on show as well. hip hop artists often has the persona as being self centered and very confident so they are often shown in there own album covers and also placed in a prominent position with flashy colours fitting with there image.

This album by Wretch 32 is called black and white which explains the unusual lack of colour from a hip hop artist album cover. like Tinie Tempah wretch 32 is displayed very largely

Chipmunk's album titled transition is named around his transition in life after his success on his first album and singles. It is a sterotype that rappers are very concious of there image and this album cover shows chipmunk and his new image with a lot of tattos and less jewellery. This album cover supports and also breaks the conventions of a hip hop artists album cover because the is no flashy jewellery but there flahy lighting on this picture with is a comman convention.
