Famous Album Art Analysis

An album cover can be used to portray what an album is about. It can be labeled as another form as promotion as consumers may walk past and be atracted to an album cover which may encourage them to buy it. I will be analysing an album cover by an artist named Wiley. The album is called Playtime Is Over.

This album cover is an example of one that is used to portray the meaning of it and it links in with the title of it. It depicts the artist, Wiley, in a playground that looks deserted and contains blacked out bikes and rides, re-inforcing the title of 'Playtime Is Over'. I feel that this is a simple concept but at the same time is very effective in promoting the message of the album.
