After researching many different artists form the Pop genre and current chart album covers, i noticed one particular theme that is re-occurring on many CD covers; the artist's image is often a close up shot and very rarely is shot with below the waist line in the camera shot. I assume this is to create a connection between the artist to the audience, and allows the genre and the mood or message of the album to be conveyed through the cover image.
In addition to this I also noticed how the text used on the cover page for the album title and artists name is very often written in very simple font, as well as noticing how there is very little, if any, additional text or images/decorations added to the cover page, presumably as it conveys a simplistic feel.
The body language of the artist in the imaeg that is used on the cover of a cd package varies, and there is no majority of either eye level/eye contact with camera as opposed to a side shot with the performers direction of sight facing another way, although more recently it appears to be that most recently; forward facing and direct eye contact body language/posture is used for cover images more so than a different angle of the perfomer, such as Demi Lovato's cover image for her album unbroken.
