From the research that I did on singer/songwriter genre album covers I found that many of them contained the artist themselves, a logo/motif that represented them, abstract imagery and pictures of nature/landscapes. Majority of the albums that I found were from artists in the singer/songwriter category charts on Itunes. When researching the album covers I discovered that many of them contained images of the artist not looking directly at the camera, but in some instances they were. This could suggest that their main focus is music, and not been shown as a product of the music industry, as many artists within this genre are more for making music so that people will enjoy it, not how much money they will make.
Google search of singer/songwriter album covers. I googled album covers of the genre which my own music video is featured with, from this I am able to produce my ancillary texts and make them appealing to the target audience, as I know what the typical conventions are from the research I have done.
Conventions of singer/songwriter album.
As the song I am doing is Ben Howard Depth Over Distance, I looked at his current album covers from previous songs he has had out. A main dominant feature what I noticed was his appearance in the covers if he is shown in any is quite mysterious, but also simplistic and effective at the same time. This a benefit to draw the consumers attention to the artist, therefore will make them want to consume the music made by Ben Howard.
