This is the front cover of Lana Del Rey's album Born To Die. On this front cover there is only the album artist on it making her the sole focus and shows how this album is hers. The use of direct address is effective as its as if she is looking at the audience, get the audiences attention as it sends off a powerful vibe. The simplicity of the cover also helps to put focus of the star and makes the album look classy and professional, which contrasts with the fact that she is an indie artist and this make the cover interesting.

The text on the cover is large and in bold which stands out however it still doesn't distract from the the artist as the text is behind her head. The album title isn't as prominent as its in a pale blue and in a smaller font size but it is in the foreground, in front of the image of the artist.

The colour scheme of this colour is also effective as its mainly white and blue, which is simple and also help to put focus on the artist as though she is wearing a white top her hair is a contrasting colour,

After looking at this album front cover it had given me ideas on what to include on mine as the conventions used on this are effective.
