This cover by Chase and Status immediately catches our attention for two reasons. The colour yellow tends to be associated with hazard signs and some emergency vehicles, because of the high visibility of bright yellow holds. The use of an emergency type of feeling can unconsciously create excitement for the viewer because of how much it stands out. However we can also notice an extreme close up of a bulldog behind the writing. Bulldogs are beefy, strong and when things are linked with this animal we do think of menace. Perhaps Chase and Status are showing that this album is dangerous in a good way, it will get you excited and pumped up, and the fact that the bulldog is there creates a statement that it means business.
Once again the colour theme of black and yellow again adds to the feeling of caution. You as a buyer feel that this album should be handled with care. This goes well with the genre that Chase and Status are connected with. The deep bass that’s linked with dubstep and the quick drums all make a very quick paced genre and when played in clubs, dancers feel as if their getting a shot of adrenaline.
Another thing we notice is that the barcode, label company and distributors are put into one side of the back cover. We know that all this is associated with Chase and Status, however the people who have designed the cover know that when buying an album, the consumer wants to notice the main contents of the album such as the album front cover and track list.
