3. This album cover highlights multiple conventional
aspects, this includes the artists/album name on the
front and back cover. As well as having the artist within
the center of the shot to attract the audience.
Additionally, the production and distribution companies
are highlighted on the back cover and all of the tracks
that are available when listening to the album.
The main theme of the album cover is a stage which could correspond to the title of ‘The
Eminem Show’. Also, as the main color is red, this could highlight what the songs are
about which could be death and violence as we associate these 2 topics with this color.
The spotlight could contrast how Eminem isn’t that important as it doesn’t purely focus
on him. The sense of the artists costume could state that he has a dark personality or
background as the color black is usually associated with these topics, in relation to this
the background behind him consists of nothing which could relate to how the past was.
The use of the white
text highlights the fact
that he has a lot of
hope in terms of
succeeding.
Furthermore, it could
emphasize that he
wants to stand out
from the crowd as the
color is very bold and
powerful. The font of
the tracks on the
album shows that he
is different as the font
is peculiar and artsy in
comparison to other
artists.
The prop microphone
illustrates that Eminem
wants to come across
as a confident and
extroverted person as
it takes a lot of
courage to perform on
stage in front of a
crowd.
5. This cover shows that the person on the front
could be very self centred and wants everyone
to tell her she’s pretty, but she could also
pure/innocent personality as she seems like that.
The use of the light colours in the background
and the water could show that she is in a
calming place. Also the fact that she is isolated
by herself could be a metaphor for saying that
the band is different from many others.
The back cover also uses pure
colours like white and gold which
could show that she has quite a high
status as well as the ban. The album
front and back is also quite a simple
design. The mise en scene that’s
involved throughout all of it is the
location which seems peaceful and
the songs could be aimed at a certain
person or life in general.
The conventional aspects of the album highlight the band’s name
on the front cover to inform the audience who they are. As well as
their social media links and the distribution and production
companies info.
7. The back cover of the album uses dark colours like black and red which
be symbolism for death and hatred, however the cake on the front cover
could show that they are trying to cover up the fact that bad things
happen and are trying to show the good things in life.
The word
bleed in blood
red could be a
metaphor for
someone
dying or being
hurt and this
person could
be someone in
the band or
close to the
members of
the band.The white text could show
hope or purity which is a
positive connotation and is
going against what we
actually see in the image
which is quite dark.
The pink
background on
the front cover
could mean that a
celebration is
happening or
going to happen
in the near future
which is a good
use of the prop.
