Album Cover Analysis: Tinie Tempah - 'Disc-overy'

This is the album cover of Tinie Tempah’s album ‘Disc-overy’. I chose this cover to analyse because of its eye catching appearance. The use of the colours purple, white and black really grab your attention if it was seen on a shelf at a shop. Tinie Tempah is a new artist to come into the music industry, that’s why he has a full medium shot of himself on the album cover, to get his audience to feel familiar to him. The positioning of his arms seem to be leaning on a table of some kind, and facing directly towards the audience, making the audience feel as if he’s staring right at you. The shining effect on his arms and shoulders gives off an impression that he is a fresh new sound that’s coming into the music scene. By the way he’s dressed shows us he’s up to date with the fashion. It seems that he’s holding a city in his arms, suggesting he has power and dominance over the music industry?

I find this album cover very powerful. The colour of it stands out from any other albums, and also the stare of ‘Tinie Tempah’ himself, shows that he’s confident about his album.
