  • The CD cover features the main artist in a central alignment.
  • The artist is the largest image on the cover which brings the focus to him.
  • The colour theme is dark which sticks to the conventions of the grime genre.
  • The image of the artist is like a screen within a screen. The artist is looking at himself enlarged on the building.
  • The artist is dressed in an attire that would match the genre of music he has produced. 
  • The artists name stands out in bold white writing and the name of the album in green.
  • There is no negative stereotype linked to this artist in this album cover as the artist has gone from underground to mainstream.
  • The font theme is carried out throughout the album cover from front back.
  • The artists logo is pictured in the bottom left corner of the cover which follows the colour scheme.
  • Conventions of a CD cover are present, such as a bar code, and the producer name. 
  • The setting of where the picture of the artist is taken fits to the genre of Grime. The image is set in a dark industrial estate with what seems like an abandoned building.
  • The enlarged picture of the artist suggests he is conquering the music industry by releasing this album.
