Album covers we can relate to

These are 4 very well known album cover. Some recent and some older. These album covers are Jay Z and Kanye West "Watch The Throne", Lady Gaga "Born This Way", Justin Bieber "Believe" and Michael Jackson "Bad". 
From looking at these album covers the first thing I can see for three of them is that they are simple. I can see that there is obviously Photoshop work on them but we can easily come up with something like this. The "Watch the throne" album cover is a lot more detailed and more complicated. All the colours suit the artist on the front of the album cover. This is the main thing we need to focus on because this is what gives the cover meaning.
