Before starting the brief I did some research into successful album covers that have been around for years, some which are iconic in the album cover industry. Other designs, like the Beatles Abbey Road, have become icons of british pop culture, demonstrating how effective an album cover can be.
I found these covers on Shortlist.com, counting down the most effective album covers of all time. From looking at the top 8 that are shown, there doesn't seem to be any correlation between designs/colour schemes etc, other than the fact they portray an interesting image of the artist/band they are covering. I notice that each one only uses a restricted amount of colour, and if it is full colour they are quite muted.
