Slow R&B songs these days are usually in greyscale or a sepia tone. I think this is because it makes the colours very soft which adds to the tone of the song because dark colours evoke emotion.

However slow R&B songs that are about being in love or breaking up, does not have as much nudity as sexual R&B music

Digipak covers from our genre: RnB

I like this album cover because it is simple and at the same time it is very nice. i like the the fact that Chris Brown is the only one on thr cover, giving him all the attention. i like the font and how it is by his picture, making it clear that it is his name. i also like the style of the font and the size of it. i like how the background is faded. i also like him looking to the side and not directly at the camera. i like his props and his outfit, the jewellry and the hat with the logo.

 I really like this album cover. the first thing i like about the cover is the colour, i like the black and white theme with the use of shadows in the picture and i also really like his body language, the fact that he is looking downwards and has his hand on his head shows that there is something up with him, almost like he is thinking.
I also like the font as it is unique and i like where it is placed on the picture.





This is another album cover that i really like. Enrique Iglesias looks very attactive, his pose is what makes the cover very nice, i really like the colour. it looks good in black and white. His name is boldly written and then underneath, much smaller is the name of the album. both are very important.








I really like all of these covers and i have come to the conclusion that i would like our cover to be in black and white, with just Ashley on the cover, no props or a busy background.
I like the second cover the best and that is what i would like Ashley to be posing like, with his face looking in a different direction and similar body language.
I will also like the name of Artist and cover to be boldly written.
