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.
