1. The use of blue suggest
tranquillity how ever
grunge music is to do with
anger and frustration.
Materialistic goods
were popular in the
1980’s – Nirvana
rebelled against
the thought of
being so
materialistic.
This completely
contrasts the genre
of music.
This album cover explains
that we are taught to be
materialistic and greedy
from birth – This baby
cannot swim yet it is
diving in water after
money risking its life.
A baby connotes
innocence.
Money connotes
corruption, capitali
sm, greed and
wealth.
Innocence vs
corruption.
The album cover
seems to be calm
but it is far from it.

2. Very discomforting
colour scheme.
The smashing of a guitar
shows anger and bitter
edge.
This would attract
customers attention
so they will buy it.
These are both
punk values
The fact that he is
smashing a guitar at a
live show, shows that
their concert is very
lively and energetic
The clash’s London
Calling album was a
rip off of Elvis
Presley's album.
Also suggests that
the punk rock genre
also involves
catharsis
Suggesting that Elvis has his time of fame
and popularity now its ‘our turn’.

3. As R&B is all about
emotion the album
cover would have
various close ups or one
close up of the artist to
show the emotion on
their face.
Therefore this my
also attract the
younger audience
as they may think
its new and fresh
making it more
likely for them to
purchase the
album purchase
the album
As Chris Browns
music is targeted
at
teenagers, bright
vibrant colours
were used to
attract customers.
The type of images and
font used on the album
cover replicates the style
of graffiti .
Graffiti is a sign of
rebellion.
Stereotypically teenagers
rebel and do not conform.
