London rap artist DVS has released his new album called 'London Boy American Dreaming'. Lately I can't stop but listen to this album, it is that good, after looking at the description objective for this post this album was the first to pop up in my head because the cover is very significant in saying something to the audience, also has a relationship with the songs and the concept of the album is very clear by just looking at the cover which I thought was very important as a lot of album covers these days are very complex in the message it try's to portray, this album displays otherwise and brings things back to basic but also in an effective way.
The font used in the cover is very eye catching and displays elements of originality with the way it has been written sharply. Furthermore the way the text has been written across the middle of the cover makes it even more significant because it is the centre of attention, this presentation is very important and effective because without looking at the images on the cover the title alone already gives implications as to what the album will be about. This relationship between the title and songs on the album shows us how relevant every piece on the cover is, it also shows the audience that the album has been well thought about. The colour scheme used in the text is also look really good as it makes the whole writing stand out more. His name is DVS and the name of the album is London Boy American Dreaming; this written text has been separated via the use of font size and the colour scheme gold and white. This attribute can be seen to be important as it there was not a change in the colours unfamiliar viewers can easy miss interpret and thing the whole line is the artist name or name of the album.
The use of images on the cover of the album are all significant in saying something to the audience. As well as this they also look very interesting and engaging especially with the use of fade in merging all three images of Big Ben, the artist and the American flag together. The way the artist has been placed in the middle amount the other two footages emphasis the idea again of something being the centre of attention, in this case the artist is spread out through the centre of the page which show us his relevance in the album. The use of the image of Big Ben in the background is also significant in the whole album because it is an iconic representation of London. If you look at the artist's sunglasses, on the left eye you can see the town Brixton written. This is significant because it shows us where the artist is from which is in Brixton, this corresponds to the title of the album stating 'London Boy' as Brixton is in London which he is clearly proud of it and also songs within the album such as 'Brixton' and 'Different kind'. On the right hand side you can see an image of the American flag and on the artists right eye in his glasses an image of the state of liberty. This is effect because it displays ideas to the other half of the message behind the album. This tells us that America is where he would like to be in, this also corresponds to the title of the album as it states 'American Dreaming' which is very much self explanatory in the aspirations in the future.
