Analysis of Album Covers

 I chose to analyse this album cover as this artist has recently been on top of the charts. The album cover had to follow up the music success and therefore I thought that this cover represented the artist well. Looking at the music this particular artist is creating; demonstrates to the audience that the artist is wealthy and successful. The album cover connotes on the artists current lifestyle as we can see that the mis-en-scene in this album cover has the artist wearing allot of expensive gold jewelry as well as sitting at an expensive table with antique accessories. This suggests to us that the artist is doing well in his carer. The artwork for the cover is also uses a limited amount of colors to represent the class as well as wealth of the artist, the use of low key lighting shows the maturity which the artist has as it allows all the details to be defined. The full candle represents that the artist has a long way ahead of him.
