I felt that it was important to look at the front of the album cover as audiences will be attracted to the design of it as well as the fact that it gives impressions to the artist image and the type of music involved within it.
Micheal Jackson's album cover BAD makes himself stand out as the background of the cover is blank and plain white, this makes the audience focused on Micheal Jackson which is what the creators of this album cover want as he is wearing and is displayed as a rebellious figure compared to his other portrayals in other albums as a pop star for example. This also has some reference to the name of the album itself as being "BAD" again giving this reflection to the audience that this type of music is perhaps more hardcore or different to his previous albums. He also stands out in this album cover as he is displayed in the center of the album cover again attracting the audience that this is him.
The "BAD" logo itself also stands out as the main colors used and portrayed are black and white, with this bright red logo the audience is automatically drawn to this and know what the album is perhaps related to. It also has a graffiti type font again making reference to the bad portrayal of this album as people who are rebellious vandalize walls for example with graffiti cans. On top of that it is also over laid on the "Micheal Jackson logo" which supports my theory.
