The document summarizes and analyzes various visual elements from a music video and album packaging. It notes that graffiti writing and tattoos give an urban street feel consistent with the genre.

Side profiles and not directly addressing the viewer imply emotional distance. Visuals promote intertextuality and consistent themes across formats.
