Got Thin - Got Fat Again!in

In this program the weight lost from dieting and the weight gain over a period of time is explored on 3 individuals.

A close up shot is used to put emphasis on Gina separating some sweets from a bowl. This is a negative representaion as sweets are seen as unhealthy. She is also doing this in the kitchen when she could be doing it anywhere else in the house. This is an aspect of a woman being stereotyped as domesticated.

Album Cover Textual Analysis

Take Care

This is Canadian recording artist drake's second studio album Take Care. The image of the cover is of the artist looking down with his left arm crossed. His right arm is not fully crossed with shows that he is open. As he is looking down it also shows that he is reflecting back on his past. The photo used for this cover makes drake look like a king. He wanted to emphasis the fact that before he became famous and had fans he was once just a kid from his mum's basement with nothing. He likes to show of what he's got now from working hard as he is doing in this image.

Album Cover Textual Analysis






good kid, m.A.A.d city

This is the second studio album by recording artist Kendrick Lamar. The text style on this album cover has been written on by hand. This makes the album seem very real as it looks like the artist has just written on it with fresh ink, this allows the artist to connect with the audience. It is on a grey background so it stands out and can easily be read.

The image on the cover shows a street on Compton, Kendrick's hometown. The special effect that has been put over the album image makes the cover seem like it's a piece of paper that has been put away in someones pocket. The white creases show where the paper has been folded. The effect can also show that the cover is old.
