Conventions of album artwork

There are certian rules that most album covers are required to follow, and that all new artists follow.

 What has to be on an album:

On the Front:

• 
  The Name- on the front the name is the biggest part of the album cover, the album title is actually smaller, this is because the artist is being sold, not  the album independently 

• 
  The album name-  this is usually styled or drawn, or completely random, however, the font and style always adheres to the genre. 

• Parental Advisory sticker- If there is any profanity within the album, that sticker is required. This is required on the front cover. 

On the Back:

• Track list- Numbered and in order, (both the front and track names are conventions themselves, meaning
  that they also adhere to the genre)

• Legal information- Studio that made it and key legal people (producers, legal production people), often a studio logo as well. 

• Barcode- for selling physical copies.
