Lil Wayne-Tha Carter III
This album cover is very interesting. The image shows a child version of Lil Wayne, the fact that it is a child suggests the innocence of the artist/album and intrigues the audience. The child has tattoos which is illegal and therefore shows there is an element of danger to this album, as it is very unusual the audience is also drawn to the album cover from this as well. The tattoos also show maturity and adult themes within the album. We know that this is a squeal album as it is number three, this suggests to us that the artist has been successful with his previous albums and hints that it will again be a good album, likely to be successful.
The fact that the album is a squeal is shown in a different way with the use of Roman numerals, this also adds a classic, old-fashioned theme to the album. The red and white on black background stand out a lot however it is not the first thing the audience is drawn to with this album. The red text could suggest danger, keeping in theme with the stereotypical view of tattoos as dangerous.
The back cover has the same colour theme of red and white on black but the font for the title changes, this could disturb the audience as it is quite unusual. The image on the back is $100 dollar bills, suggesting to us that the artist is rich or his songs are about money, this could also emphasise the fact that he is successful as this is his third album in this sequence.
