Analysing Album Covers

Before we started this coursework in a group we individually started on analysis album covers and as I partly finished one I thought I would blog it.

Lil Wayne - Rebirth - Rock/Rap

Even though Lil Wayne is a rapper, this is rock album and it is reflected on the cover.
One way it is shown is with the mise-en-scene as such with a guitar is placed on top of him in the center of the shot which is a symbol of rock music. Also everything in the shot looks like its matching from the sofa to his scarf and trainers, this cold be done to represent his fashion conscious .
It is a medium shot of the artist which shows him relaxed and laid back. This could relate how he feels about the album due there was negative criticisms before the album was released.
The artists name stands out quite a lot more, compared to the album title as it is in white, maybe this was done to show whatever the album is the artist will sell music just due to his name.
