This album was released after the death of Michael Jackson. It
was made to celebrate all of the music that he was mid-way through
creating, but didnt have a chance to release before he died. The
images filling Michael Jacksons body are ones from the film that
was released along side the album, also called This is it. The
title of this album is called This is it which is shown above an
image of Michael Jackson with his hands up in the air. This front
cover image and title suggests that this is it from Michael
Jackson, and that he has given everything he has whilst he was
alive.
The back cover of the album again shows Michael, however this
time, he is posing in a very famous and well known pose of his,
where-by he holds the tip of his hat and points two of his fingers
at his audience / the ground. Putting an image of Michael in a very
famous pose without showing his face or body and showing other
images of him doing what he did best, which was performing, through
his body, gives the message that performing and his music was all
that he lived for. It shows his audience that if they wanted to
look right through him, all they would see was this passion for
music.
