Michael Jackson is dominating the album cover staring down the lens of the camera. The genre is Pop music, as he is known as the king of POP. His name is bold and metallic down the side of the cover that shows his dominance in the music industry as the black stands out from the white background. He is also dressed in black leather that makes him stand out from the background and shows that he has his own unique style of clothing and fashion. The word ‘Bad’ which is the name of the album is in red which could emphasise that red is a dangerous colour and could also be seen as rebellious as it looks like it has been spray painted on which also could reflect Michael Jackson himself as being rebellious in his own behaviour.
Paulo Nutini is again the dominant image on the album cover. As he is looking away from the camera shows that he could be laughing with someone and which can emphasise that his album is upbeat and quite light hearted. As everything is in black and white and only 'candy' is in colour boldly green emphasises what the album is called as well as that being a name of one of the hit songs on that album. The buildings surrounding him shows that he is a country artist with a calm collective nature to his songs. With him holding a guitar in his hands, we can also see that he is a musician and talented.
On this album cover by 'Girls Aloud' the name of the band strikes out. As it is bold and has a red shadow behind it stands out on the white background which shows that the girls stand out to every other band. As they are seen as a 'pop' band, the the cover has the girls standing with microphones and seen as silhouettes behind their band name promoting their selves. The other writing on the cover, is also bold which makes it stand out and the words 'greatest hits' can be seen as their best songs all on one album. 
As Katy Perry is staring straight ahead, she dominates the album cover, but looks innocent and lady like. Her choice of clothing is vintage style which goes with her image she creates for herself, but also could go with the name of the song that she's promoting ' I kissed a girl'. Her name stands out in capital letters on the white background which promotes her as a recording artist as it was her first single. 'I kissed a girl' is also in a quite large font underneath which again is striking out on the white background. But this could contradict her image as being innocent and lady like as the song title is provocative. The image of the lips, also goes with the promoting of the song and stands out as they are bright red and bold which links in with the provocative name of the song.
The name of this rock band dominates the album cover. As the album is called 'Because of the times' the old stone like background fits in well with the name of the album and connects the two together. The colour of the fonts that have been used also can be seen as dirty and old which again reflects the name of the album. As 'Kings of Leon' have been around a while and people know who they are, they don't need a image promoting themselves on the cover as their fans will buy the album whatever the album cover is. The font size is large and emphasises how big the band actually is in the 'rock' world which again shows positive promotion of their album.
