Beyonce
Left - Sex symbol as she isn't wearing many clothes, standing in position and shot is low angle shows someone with high power. She is standing over her name which shows popularity as people know who she is.
Right - Simple writing of her name as she is very popular and doesn't need herself on the album to sell.
Album covers relating to album name
Left - Justin Timberlake album cover explains his album name '20/20 vision' by having the eye frame.
Right - 'The Fame' her glasses and white gloves represents that she has fame and money.
Many artists do this so that the audience can relate and the album name means something specific to them.
Simpler Album Covers
Some artists don't brand themselves with an image, some artists simply have the name or some have the logo for example on the right Daft Punk have the logo of the helmet they wear on stage. On the left The XX have a simple X which is both their name and a logo as well.
Sex Symbol
Some artists brand themselves as a sex symbol. These are mostly pop artists who are popular and in the charts. As seen in Rihanna and lady gagas cover of there album they are both naked which indicates the type of music that they may make. Also, as their album covers are more provocative, it gives a clue as to which age group their music may be based upon.
