Album Covers MoodBoard

I has designed a moodboard of an album covers from which I will take my ideas on how I want to my own album cover look like. I created an moodboard with use of PowerPoint programme, and also mostly the album covers included in the moodboard comes from alternative rock genre, same as my original song.  I had include bands such as: Muse, Arctic Monkeys, Nickelback, Imagine Dragons, One Republic, Green Day, Killer, Paramore and some others from mixed genre music.
After analysing all of the following album covers I had pick up the fact that the most common thing is the name of an band or artist what is stands out even more than name, title of an album or a song name.
In my opinion this is because the album is promoting the artist more rather than a name of an album as in most cases the title/name come from the main song from the album.
In some album covers we can easily stated who is the artist or a band as the main images of them are shown in the front, however, there are some albums especially in the alternative rock genre music which doesn't present the artist/band image but abstraction, or are designed to look abstractive or unique. 
This gave me an idea to create an artist name/logo which would stands out the most on the front cover of my album and under it I will include the name of the song as my album title. Also, I am planning to make some abstract design images which would be in black and white and colour to check which is more appealing and which matches more with my final product. 

In order to achieved the effect which I planned I will use the Adobe Photoshop with few design programmes.
