Image;- very vulgar image depicting two demons that could represent the artist and a particular female. The image is very controversial and is used to draw attention towards the album unfortunately this image a George Condo art work was banned, it was later revealed that the image was requested to be explicit and be banned intentionally as a publicity stunt, there are various connotations to words this image. My first thought is due to the title I came to the conclusion that the black male portrayed in the art is in fact Mr West and the woman is most probably a fan. The titles “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” suggest this is a depiction of the artists imagination, the image portrays excess like the albums them. The albums main these are sex excess and ego and it is represented in the art works that are presented in the booklet upon purchase of the album.
Colour;- The main and most obvious colour is the red of the outline the red. Red is used as a symbol of guilt, sin, passion and anger, often as connected with blood or sex, sometimes even used to represent danger and a warning this colour is used to represent the feelings behind this album by the artist but to also stand out dramatically whilst on the shelf and draw in the eyes to the album cover.
Lay out;- the fact that the main act of sex is centre of the album and that there is not writing present throughout the cover show that the act of excess is a the centre of the focal point and that it’s the main feature of the album.
Language;- no language is avalible as only an image of Kanye West was used.
