ANALYSIS

2. This is the album cover of the Paramore’s ‘Riot’.
The use of typography scribed all over the
album with repetitive words gives emphasis on
the word ‘riot’. It makes the album seem child
like as it is messy writing which could link to some
lyrics within the album. The typography being all
black with hints of red could connote that the
album talks about danger, darkness and evilness
within the lyrics which could be underlining
messages. The band feature on the front of the
album which is part of star image as people who
know them and like their music will pick it up.
This is the CD for the Paramore’s album ‘Riot’. It
features the iconic messy writing which is on the
album cover. This makes it easy to link the two
together. The use of red and white together
emphasises the word and makes it look like
blood. The word ‘Riot’ means a violent
disturbance of the peace by a crowd. This
could relate to a song, lyrics or message within
the album. The exclamation mark suggests it is
being shouted which could suggest it is a loud
album.

3. This is the back of the album. It features the
same typography throughout the whole
album which makes it flow and link together.
There is a close up shot of the band which is
important as the audience may recognise
them therefore pick the album up. There is a
barcode featured which is stereotypical
format for an album back. It features more
information on the back such as song titles.
This will give more information to the
audience as if they know a song they will pick
it up and buy it.
The black and white theme throughout
makes it fit with the indie rock
conventions of the genre. By the word
‘Riot’ being repeated gives it emphasis
and makes people think about the
meaning of the word. It also has lyrics
and song titles which links to the
album. The red links to the colour
theme in the album.

4. This is the front of the album for ‘Science and Faith’
by The Script. The front cover features the band
members which shows star image. This is important
as people will recognise them and buy the album
as they are will known. The logo is also featured for
the same reasons. The typography is simple and in
white which stands out against the dark
background. The background is rural which could
show that the album is just about them as nothing
else is there. They also aren’t giving the audience
direct mode of address which could suggest they
are hiding something in their album.
This is the back of the album. It is completely
different to the front which could suggest there
are two sides to the album. The feature of hand in
the position they are in could suggest praying and
religious connotations. The background looks like
an old script which could suggest that they aren't
changing the tone of their music. The typography
is also simple and in black. There is a barcode
featured which is stereotypical for an album cover
at the back as well as the producer logos etc. By
the nails not being painted and are dirty could
suggest that the album is natural. The website is
also featured for promotion.

5. This is the inside of the album where the lyrics
of songs are sometimes featured. The logo is
also here again to promote the band and to
make them well known as well as the theme
of hands linking to the back cover. The same
background of an old script is used to show
fluidity through the album. The hands are in
another position this time which shows they
are joined together. The skin tones also look
different on this image which could suggest
that they are showing equality.
This is the CD inside the album. The
colours are linked with the rest of the
album however this has a different feel to
it. This could represent that they are
different from what’s on the outside
compared to what’s on the inside. The
symbol is scientific which links to the title
of the album. It refers to physics and
chemistry which could suggest the lyrics
could be about love.
