2. With the title, it is a
very specific font that
the group use on all of
there albums so that it
relates back to the
group all of the time,
almost like a logo, a
signature mark that
stays with them.
The front cover the Linkin Park's album minutes to men, with
all the members of the band present on the cover, however
you cannot see the band members faces or what they are
wearing etc, so they are covering up from the audience.
Also we have the
parental advisory logo
showing us that the
content of the album
is explicit and that the
album should be sold
with exceptions and
that children should
not be able to buy the
album without an
adult present. This is
to ensure that they
are not hearing things
that can put them in
danger/teach them
what they shouldn't
know at a certain age.
The use of the black
and white on the
cover is extremely
effective as it is
simple and straight
forward however
works brilliantly and
is eye catching
despite the
simplicity.
3. So here we can see all
of the band members
again all blacked out,
so we cannot see any
major features
however here we can
see some of their
faces. This again is
effective as it could
possibly represent the
fact that some of the
things they are singing
about is dark and
futuristic. The group
themselves do not
have a specific music
type as they are soft
rock/rock and rap at
some points as well.
As for the
scenery that
they are placed
it seems to be a
beach and this
could possibly
mean that they
are outcasts and
not like
everyone else,
been away from
society for too
long.
4. Here we can see all of the members once again so the album is very
much centralised on all members of the group and not the main two
performers. Often a group of artists focus on the main performer on
the group but Linkin Park are different in the form that they want
everyone to be equal within their group.
We can see the track list
again matching the colour
scheme of black and white
and it works as the sky
colour makes it stand out,
readable and eye catching.
Again we have the setting of
the beach and the outcast.
Also with this shot they all
seem to be facing the
horizon which could suggest
that they want to escape
and start again, could
possibly represent that this
is the last album that they
are doing before they take a
break away from the
industry.
We have the barcode so the
band can know how many
copies are sold also a small
description with terms and
conditions, copyright, terms and
conditions etc.
