This album cover here is sending a very strong message through the imagery. The title of the album and the graphics are strongly linked to sell the angle and star image of the artist. This artist is someone who has come from struggle and poverty to success and wealth and often speaks about the contrast between the 2 within his music. The tittle being dreams and nightmares is in line with this character.
The image on the cover is of hand cuffs but one of the cuffs is an expensive watch instead, this follows the concept of dreams and nightmares and is very clear in getting the meaning across. The graphics are very well detailed and manage to get the right balance between realism and animation.
The key being placed in the cuff is a symbol that he is now free from the shackles of his past life and has found the key to his freedom through his music
The font also follows the album theme having the dreams in clear white writing appearing bright and clean; then the nightmares is red and bloody with blood dripping below which also represents all the bleeding and violence he encountered in his previous walk of life. The word dreams is also in a bigger font than the nightmares to show that the positives in his life outweigh the negatives.
The background being black allows the audience to focus on the imagery and receive the message that is being shown to them; the gold watch and cuffs are made to stand out on the cover as this is key symbolism in the aim of getting to audience to understand the meaning and reasoning behind the album title.
