Respresentation

In this task i am looking to analyse the album cover for a specific and see what key features are used to brand the album. I also have to look at any other promotional material used such as magazines or websites that also look to brand this product.

Here is the front cover to the Album 'Mastermind' by Rick Ross.

The key features on the front cover is the artists face with a cartoon effect with a graffiti effect in the background. What makes this cover noticeable is the contrast between the artist being shown in black and white against the bright colours of the graffiti in the background.

One of the singles displayed on the album uses synergy from the music video "Paradise Lost". On the screen-grab below you can see the use of the album cover in one of the tracks from the album promoting listeners to listen to the rest of the album.
