2. ‘PARENTAL ADVISORY’
– The label is used to
warn the owner that
the album contains
explicit content. E.g.
Profane Language or
Sexual References. This
is important so that
the owner is aware of
the lyrical content
before listening to it.
EFFECTS: The album
cover has a grainy
effect which affects
the quality of the
image . This particular
effect makes the
photo look as if it was
taken a long time ago
or a more ‘ancient’
look.
‘Take Care’ – The album title is
written in italic with a simple font.
‘Take Care’ is placed on the bottom
left, which looks as if the artist is
looking down at it. ‘Take Care’
refers to wishing someone well –
the title is somewhat a message to
the audience about wishing them
the best in the life .
SHOT-TYPE: They used a Mid-shot which shows Drake sitting down,
holding a gold cup with a calm facial expression on his face. I believe
they used this show to specifically focus on the artist’s expression and
symbolic objects that represents him (gold cup= to show his wealth ).
BODY LANGUAGE: Drake is shown relaxing
(leaning on the table) and probably deep in
thought (looking down ).
PROPS: The Gold
objects and his
jewellery is
represents his
wealth and
success.
LIGHTING: Lowkey lighting is
used for this
shoot. The
lighting works
well as it
reflects his
mood and
emotion shown
in the image.
ANCHORAGE: the album title ‘Take Care’ and Drake’s emotion
correlates because they both signify being calmness, where drake is
showing a neutral emotion and looking aware from the audience.
3. TRACK LIST: with the track
list, no numbering was
used or the duration of the
songs were written. It’s a
simple layout for the track
list.
FONT: All the track names are all
written in Capitals with a simple and
readable font.
The text is aligned in
the centre specifies
what the viewer
should be looking at
(track list). The
spacing the text also
makes it easier to
reader.
Background Colour:
The use of the black
background image
mounts the coloured
text and also makes
the back cover bold.

LOGOS: The logos shown are
of the several record labels
that the artist is signed to. By
including the logos it’s a way
of the label promoting
themselves to the public.
The text beneath the track list is the names of
the producers that helped to both record and
produce tracks for the artist. This is often a way
of the artist showing their appreciation to
them.
BARCODE: A barcode which
is scanned when the item is
being purchased.
