Album Covers Research Part 2

The album cover i have chose to deconstruct is Liberation Transmission by the Lostprophets.

-Black and white except for blood splat- connotes violence and anger which is usually associated with the genre of the band which is rock and 'making a statement'.

- 'Nobis, Pro Lemma, Vobris' - Latin for 'for us, for them, for you' - giving their music a universal appeal, also relating to the theme of the cover with the liberation through war and standing up for something you believe in no mater what the consequences (death- with the blood splat).

- Old fashioned font- patriotic and calligraphic continuing the theme of liberation. Also this font is less bold as the album name is less important to the artist name as trying to create an artist image.

- Eagle or dragon? Welsh dragon- welsh band or eagle- connotes power and again liberation, freedom (spreading of the wings).

- Crest- usually found on old fashioned armour - standing up for something (genre)- theme - war and liberation

-Bold LOSTPROPHETS font - stands out- artist identity- harsh rock.

- Main singer - sex appeal, suit -matching colour scheme to cover (black and white suit with red blood splats)

- Looking away from camera- gives an idea of personality, quite emotional? gives insight into music which could also be emotional.

- Continuting colour scheme from front throughout inlay.

- Images of fingerprints - getting on the wrong side of the law? rebellious? standing up for something you believe in  even if it means bad consequences (theme). The fingerprints also create enigma and draw the audience in.



-The same eagle bird linking back to front, scratched out though connoting the band are more powerful than it.

- The main singer wearing a military jacket linking to war theme and liberation.

- The band all in black, helps audience identification, genre - slightly emo, harsh.

-Mostly practical compared to the eyecatching front, including things such as the barcode and track listing.

-Links old with new ( new chair but old fashioned military jacket) maybe connoting or suggesting that the old principles of standing up for what you believe can now be expressed differently to war- through music, specifically THEIR music expressing THEIR views.
