The album i am now analysising is by 'Example', real name Elliot Greave and the album is called 'Won't Go Quietly'. Firstly, the album being called 'Won't Go Quietly' is marketing ploy as one of hit singles was also called the same, this is done so even is you don't know Example, you might know that song.
The font stands out fully, with the artists name and album title in white on a black background, the font is simple and modernistic and is easy to read.
The album cover is made up of different pictures of Example with a variety of fun props, e.g. astronaut helmet, sun glasses, gaffer tape, megaphone and a donkey costume, plus the mise-en-scene of his wild, happy faces and confident fun poses makes him appeal to the younger generation. This makes the album cover look like a collage, and represents him as fun loving man appealing to the younger generation. This mise-en-scene makes him accessible to the younger generation who are into him style of music, a mix between electro/rap/pop. Looking at the album cover at a deeper level, being younger means usually struggling with your identity as media theorists say, therefore as this album cover is appealing to the younger generation i believe that showing Example in different situations relates to the younger people trying to find their identities, also showing him have fun appeals to the stereotypical teenager who likes going out, have fun and crazy times.
