7. Different genres portrayed by artwork
The album cover is all in black, hat pulled down, close up of
star in the centre, very strong pose from star in centre, show

8. Deftones: White Pony
Deftones, white pony is probably the simplest album cover from this
genre, shows the outline of a horse and a white background, this
shows that fans of the band will know what and who the album is by

concept album, about breathing, the bands logo or name of the
album isn't on the cover or even on the back hiding the
information on the inside of the album, the album is fit for
genre as the intense cover stares right at people, the breathing
mask not only resembles the idea of the concept behind it also
seems abit to graphic to be considered as a pop album, the
colours and shading is also darker, the expression is also a
more serious one, the music is serious, on the other hand pop
