Album Cover Research Analysis

This is The Killers ‘Day and Age’ album cover. The background of this cover has mosaic effects towards it; the mise-en-scene is the setting is at a desert. The cover of this album cover makes it eye-catching with the use of different mild colours like purple, blue and violet.

This is Jay-Z album cover for ‘The Blueprint 3’. The mise-en-scene is basically random musical instruments used that is mashed up together. I think the use of this is that he used all of these instruments for his songs in the album. The stand out of this album cover is the three marks in red which connects to the number ‘3’ in the title of his album.

This is Chris Brown’s album cover, ‘Exclusive’. The mise-en-scene is that his character is in the city, in the up top roof. The aspect that stands out for me is the colourization of his suit with the colour red. The connotation of red means other anger or fiery which also matches with the text.
