1. FAME – CHRIS
BROWN
By Patson

2. From the title of this album, it could
be inferred that this is an album
dedicated to the appreciation of his
fan base for the position he has
achieved through their support. It
has also been suggested that due to
the full stops in between the letters,
that the word is an abbreviation for
more words. It has been said that it
is an abbreviation for ‘fans are my
everything’. The words are in a font
that looks much like graffiti. This is
an illustration of another talent that
Chris Brown has- his artwork.
He may be expressing this
through his album where he
portrays himself as a music
artist and of a drawing artist.
The font is white possible to
stand out against the busy
background which is colourful
and contains many pictures of
himself and his interests. The
main image is of himself in a
painting effect. Again, this could
be a representation of his artistic
life and interests. The colour
effect is multi-colored which
also gives an artistic tone to the
album cover. His facial
expression is serious as he
glares in to camera.

3. The background also links to the title as there are words written on
images spelling out 'Forgiving all my enemies’. Again, this is a
portrayal of him moving on from the old life he was living in to move
forward into a more positive life. It shows that he wants to look
forward rather than back. These images are also overlapping the black
and white images of him which again shows the domination of this new
character he has found within himself. The images are colourful in
contrast to the images of him which may also suggest that it is a better
side to him.
This can be inferred as the connection he
wants to build with his fans and the
seriousness that his music within
contains. It may be that the album is
passionate about his feelings towards his
success and his fans therefore he
undertakes a rather serious tone to guide
his audience with the emotions they
should withhold whilst listening to his
music in order to connect with it.
The background is seen to be quite busy containing images of
himself and possibly his views. It includes images such as
children and some of his artwork that he has produced
himself. Therefore, I would depict that the background is an
illustration of his background information that has made him
who he is. The multicolours used overlapping the black and
white images of himself could be a representation of the old
him going through a change due to his fame and him seeing a
new path in his life which is colourful and positive.

4. The background colour is chosen specifically as it matches
the colour that is recurring on the cd front cover. It is a cover
that is often used and associated with the R&B genre
therefore it gives his audience the insight that his music
would consist of the R&B genre. The main image is a long
shot which is a typical feature of an album back cover. He is
in a robotic pose; which again is an representation of his
supernatural artwork that he does as a hobby. He is wearing a
mask/helmet over his head possibly to create a sense of
mystery which could suggest that the songs within his album
are mysterious or he will be unveiling a new style or
character of himself as an artist. The contents are listed
neatly on the right hand side with the same font used
throughout. This keeps the back cover looking organized and
helps to keep the focus mainly on the main image as the
focal point. It is in a bold black colour which keeps the
themes originality and doesn't draw too much attention from
the main image of the artist Barcode.
