This is the album cover to Arctic Monkeys first album, ‘Whatever people say I am that’s what I’m not’. Whilst this is not the album of a pop band, they still have a close up of a star on the front cover, although on this album it is not a member of the band on the cover. They have used a picture of a person who represents the sort of audience that this album was targeted at, young working class men.
The photograph is taken in black and white, with simply just this one photograph of the man smoking. This album shows how a cover can be very simple but yet effective, as this photograph suggests what the style of music that is on this album is going to be.
This album was taken from the bands first album, and shows how the covers of a rock bands album is different to that of a pop star. If this would have been a pop stars debut album, there would have undoubtedly be a picture of the star on the front as they would have to launch a pop star on the ‘whole package’ rather then just the music, something that a rock band can do.
