During my research into different artists and genres of music I looked at album artwork. This allowed me to identify similar themes that were in each piece of artwork, such as the name of the artist and an image created to catch the audiences attention. Only around 15 of the albums actually feature the singer or the band on the album, with most favouring to use art instead to make their album eye catching. This shows me that in order to make a good album cover, the artist is not needed.
However more of the well known artists such as Paloma Faith, James Blunt, Shy'm (A french singer), and Taylor Swift, actually use portraits of themselves on the album. This would imply that the more well known a singer becomes, the more they use themselves and their image as a unique selling point, whereas the lesser known artists, or those with a more alternative genre are likely to use other artwork such as paintings.
