Album Cover Research

Kid Cudi - Dat Kid From Cleverland
This is the album front cover and back cover from Kid Cudi's mixtape "Dat Kid From Cleveland" I feel the colour scheme works really well and stands out strongly. i feel the way in which the brown and green have been used from the background, as these are dark colours the brighter colours such as pink, yellow and blue stand out really well for his and the album name. also on the back cover the colour scheme stays the same and the contents on the cd is writen in pink, the track nuumber, yellow for the track name and blue for the artist that is featuring along side Kid Cudi. 

After doing much research into the genre Hip-Hop and Hip-Hop album covers we seen that Parental Advisory messages are place on the front cover of most Hip-Hop album covers, this because you will tend to find strong language or sexual content in the songs on the album. This is to let the parental know that there is strong content in the album and is a warning in case they do not want their children to listen to this. Because most Hip-Hop albums have this sticker on their album covers we decided that we will need to use it also to fit our genre.
