Page 1: Ill manors

Context: An album by artist Plan B. It is the soundtrack of the film he produced Ill Manors.

The font of the title is bold and sharp edged, denoting the urban style the album has.

Typography: The ‘ill’ in the title of the album is in the background of Plan B himself, looking like part of the high rise buildings in the city, with ill meaning being depraved, that things are morally corrupt. The fact that ‘ill’ stands much higher than the actual buildings suggests that corruption is overtaking the city.

Apart from the red Plan B logo at the top of the album cover, it is all in black and white, I believe this connotes the idea that cities can be dark and grey places not only due to the industrial side of a city but the struggles many people face in the city. Then the red in the logo, along with the black and white, connotes the dangers many people face in the urban areas.

The “Plan B presents” logo appears on most of Plan Bs work, this is a convention of an album cover as straight away the audience knows who the album is by.

The clothes plan be is wearing is typical of a young person in the city with a hoodie jeans and trainers. This again shows the urban genre of the album. Also the fact that he uses himself in this image signifies the realness of what the album is about, connoting this is where the artist came from and he is using his music to tell the story of his life.

In the image Plan B is positioned at the same level as the city buildings, this could signify that the disadvantaged are taking over the streets, as the album came in a response after the riots in 2011.
