Paolo Nutini CD Cover Analysis

Here is my analysis of the CD cover by Paulo Nutini for his album these streets. The album itself was released in 2006 and was one of Nutini's most succseful and earliest albums that he recorded.

  • The album cover is made up of four long shots each of which show Nutini with a different pose being done in each one. The use of the colours and each different shot that he shows may have a deeper meaning to why which colour went with which shot. 
  • His name is at the top of the album as it will be one of the most recognisable features if you don't actually know what he looks like. Another reason for this being at the top will be is that when people look and are looking through physical copies of CDs they only browse and look at the top of the album cover. 
  • The name of the album 'these streets' has been kept very informal and is just below the name of the artist. This wouldn't be as recognisable as the  artists name so it is kep very informal and which is also why there are no capitals within in the name of the album. 
  • Visually by being able to see a guitar in the album cover you can naturally assume that the majority of his music and songs on the album will involve a guitar being used. 
  • The colours that he has used on the CD cover all have and represent different meanings such as white representing goodness and simplicity, yellow representing joy and energy, orange representing youthfullness and wealth and red representing love and anger. These colour representations all show and represent his music as well. 
  • The album cover has been kept very simple and isn't over advertised or made to look out of place.
