This selection of alt rock album covers shows many distinct differences between the styles used for this genre and those used in the alt hip hop genre, firstly and most noticeable is that is is much less common for the band to be seen on the album cover for an alt rock band than for an alt hip hop album, the pictures tend to be more aimed to be pleasing to look at and like a piece of art than that of alt hip-hop artists. They also tend to show very obscure images, often heavily edited to confuse and intrigue the viewer/listener or to make a statement (such as in Nirvanas 'Nevermind' album cover showing a baby chasing money, a commentary on the modern world and capitalism). I will try to use these more artistic and creative aspects in my digipak and album poster as well as showing my two characters (as is common in alt hip-hop album covers) somehow to try to show the fact that the Gorillaz's music is an amalgamation of the two genres.
