CD cover analysis

In this front cover of Chamillionaire album 'The sound of revenge' he tries to display himself to the public as a tough guy who is not to be messed with. You can recognise this straight away by the name of the album, its almost like a warning that he is going to get his revenge, the large parental guidance badge is used as a type of badge of honour to show that he's so tough and gangster that he needs a warning. The pose he is in also give the audience an impression that he is not somebody to mess with his body is facing the away from the audience however he as turned his head and is making eye contact with them whilst clenching his fist just below as if he is preparing to fight. Only a small part of his face is shown and the low key lighting creates shadows on his face which lets us see even less of his face. The background is a city at night with lots of skysrapers andhe gives the impression that it is his neighbourhood and he wants us to leave.  The font used is almost a millitary font and also on his hat it says 'Chamillitary' which shows he is displaying himself as a type of solider.

The back cover also has eye contact with the audience however, this time you can see more of his face and his body is facing the camera. You can see his chain around his neck witch shows his wealth. Lastly the white glow with the smudge effect make him look more powerful and respectable.
