Digipack analysis: 50 Cent- Before I Destruct Myself


 
The album is by 50 Cent called- Before I Self Destruct. Upfront it looks like a plain layout with not much going on, with just 50 Cent at the centre of this album. Looking in further you can see that the main face is destructed and this resembles the name of the album as the name of the album is self destruct and he looking like he is about to destruct. The actual convention used is the face expression, taken stereotypically, the general faces in the rap videos are sad, down and usually angry/annoyed. This is see with the expression of his eyebrow, raised and he is frowning hinting to an aggressive mood.
This is the back cover of the album. the both work really well together, not only the front but the back, you can have a scene set in your mind just by looking at the back of the album, something that is really attractive, is that the back part seems to be on fire, the lighting again another issue, as the darkeness sets a very hostile mood for anyone viewing the album, also this is backed p by smoke and of course giving the impression of a broken up city, making it very interesting and impeccible for someone not to buy, getting very attracted.
