Eminem's Albums;

This album by Eminem is called Relapse and was released in May of 2009. As you can see, this cover is different to singles that Eminem has released mainly because it contains an image of his self but also due to the fact that it doesn't include any large writing telling you the name of the album.Also, the writing which is normally used on the single covers of Eminem's is big, bold and either black or white. From this cover you can see that there is hardly any writing and what there is, it is very small.

This album cover is very similar to the single cover for the song 3AM. The only thing which has changed is the colours that are used. These colours are a lot less harsh and make the cover look less like any of the other Eminem covers.

This album cover looks like single cover for 'Old Time's Sake' showing that Eminem sometimes has some silimarities between album and single covers that he produces. This was released on 18th May 2009, which was only a few weeks after the Old Time's Sake single was released which may have something to do with the fact that they look similar.

Recovery is the most recent album that Eminem has released. This cover is nothing like anything Eminem has released before and the only thing that Eminem fans may recongise from this cover is the backwards 'E' in the title Recovery. This album was released 22nd June 2010 and is very different to anything Eminem has released before.

Comparing Recovery which is Eminem's most recent album to the first album that he released in 1999 which is called The Slim Shady LP, shows how much he has changed over the years. This album cover doesn't include Eminem's name at all and would be hard to identify who the artist of the album is.

Eminem's Singles;

This single was released on 2nd February 2009 and is called 'Crack a Bottle'. As you can see from this cover, the artwork that is used is very dark and bold. This is the same as most of Eminem's other album covers meaning that we will need to produce something which along the same lines. Most of the covers that Eminem releases have just the artists name and the title of the song rather than having images on them.

This was the cover of the single 'We Make You' that Eminem released 13th April 2009. From the cover we have noticed that it is yet another cover which uses bright colours and bold writing. Also, from this cover i have noticed that within his name the second 'E' is back to front which is something that we may be able to use within our production.


3AM was a single that Eminem released on 28th April 2009. Yet again, he has used the same colour scheme which is very bold. This is a good way to get customers attention as they will instantly recognise that it is an Eminem single. After looking at these covers, we have decided as a group that it would be appropriate for us to use Black, White & Red within the production of our album cover.

Old Time's Sake was released on 5th May 2009. This is the first single cover of Eminem's most recent singles that has a picture on it rather than just writing. It also uses Blue within its colour scheme which makes it look different to the other covers.

Ancillary Tasks;

Along with the Music Video that we have to produce, we also have be told that we have to produce a Digi-Pak, a Magazine Advert or a Website. The two that we have chosen are a Digi-Pak and a Magazine Advert.
Before designing the Digi-Pak for our Production to the song Love the Way You Lie. We thought it would be worth while taking the time to research into previous single and album covers that Eminem has released, to see what they looked like and what they included so that we would be able to make one which is authentic.
We also had to look into previous magazine adverts that have been made to promote Eminem's album releases, so that we were able to create one which looked realistic and if people saw it would know straight away what we were trying to advertise.

Final Production;

We have spent a lot of time tweaking this film and making sure that it is just right. We like to think that we have incorporated a number of factors that Eminem has previously used and we hope we have done him justice. Hope you enjoy our production.
