The front cover is completely focused on the graphic which is placed in the centre.

There are no other images used on the album cover to represent the band or their album, this is unusual for a band within this genre of music. The three arrow/triangle shapes within the graphic, I believe represent the three members of the band (Mayberry, Cook & Doherty).

The deluxe version of this album uses the same colour palette but just vice versa, the colour of the arrows/triangles and the background have been swapped and the black deluxe edition type has been added.

The bands name CHVRCHES and album name The Bones Of What You Believe are in a cream colour, both are presented in a slim font type. CHVRCHES is typed in capital letters with the U replaced with a V and the E replaced with three horizontal lines. This is how the bands name is seen on all of their previous EPs and other published pieces of media such as magazine adverts. The album name is presented in a lower case and smaller size font to the band name, although this is the albums front cover, the name is not used the main focal point.

By using black and violet blue colours against the deep red background ensure it is the main focal on the cover and will also help it to stand out on the shelf in a record shop.

These bright colours are fairly unconventional for this type of genre, usually you would have more muted colours on the cover, this goes against the normal genre conventions for an electronic/synth pop band.

The main focal point of this album cover is the artist herself (Jessie Ware), as the star image motif. Despite the fact that this is a profile shot and she does not make direct eye contact to engage with the audience. The image of her is what you are immediately drawn to because it is very well it and I believe overall a stunning image.

The artists name Jessie Ware is typed in bold block capitals, however it is slightly smaller than the name of the album Devotion. This does not matter in the grand scheme of things as written text is usually read from top to bottom by readers, so the artists name Jessie Ware would be the first thing they read after being drawn to the main focal point of the cover (the image of the artist). The image of the artist could be related to Laura Mulveys Male Gaze theory. The way Ware has been captured could be interpreted as being from the perspective of a heterosexual male.

The Gold Edition version of this album was released at a later date with more new & updated tracks. The same layout and image has been used but this version features gold coloured font (rather than previously black) to represent the fact that it is a gold edition.

The simplistic black and white style of this CD cover (photograph, font and background) works very well to create a sophisticated, sleek and polished look. This represents the artist and her genre/style of music well. The black font against the white background is bold and works well with the image of the artist between the two pieces of text.

The main focal point of this album cover is the female member of the music duo. This image heavily relates to Laura Mulveys Male Gaze theory as she can be viewed from the perspective of a heterosexual male, especially due to the pose she is sat in. This theory is proven as Georges (the male member of the duo) image in show in the background of Aluna staring at her.
The style and colour palette of this album cover is mainly black. This helps the main focal point to be Aluna, her image is also well lit. The album & band name is in white font, and the band name is underlined in gold.

Again, the text on this album cover is not the main focal point, however it is larger than the previous two I have analysed. The band name AlunaGeorge is written in block capitals and is underlined in gold. The album name Bodymusic is also in block capitals and sits below the band name. However, the size of this font is much bigger.

Aluna can easily be identified as the star image motif of this album cover as she is dressed and styled in a very conventional pop star way. As the female vocalist in the duo, she is relied on to sell the music to their audience through her style, looks and personality (this is shown as she is placed in the forefront of this cover making direct eye contact with the audience. George rarely makes an appearance as the main focal point in the band. This is usually a genre convention that a boy/girl duo would follow and the same style is shown in their previous EP front covers.
