Connotation and Denotation

 Denotation: There is fire, a devil, a skeleton witch and sort of magic space thing in the back ground.
Connotation: There is a devil surrounded by fire which suggests hell and burning. Also a large skeleton witch who's bigger than the devil this could suggest hallucinations or something.
 Denotation: Dark pink writing on a lighter pink back ground with white stripes.
Connotation:With the colour scheme it a appears to be of quite feminine colours. Also it looks like a jay cloth.
 Denotation: Two men in a sunny town shaking hands. Both men are well dressed.
Connotation: These people can be doing a business deal in a deserted town. The man is also on fire so he could be doing a deal with the devil or doing some sort of bad deal.
Denotation: 4 guys standing in an empty rocky space with a random building.
Connotation: 4 people standing in emptiness looking board or in deep thought. They have all peed on the building.
Denotation: Wavy lines - Sound waves.
Connotation: Wavy lines that look like a mountain range or sound waves or a heartbeat.
Denotation: A guy in a dark room with light on his face.
Connotation:  The eyes could follow you around and make you pick the album up and want to buy it/consider buying it.
Denotation:Four guys and two hands in a dark room with light shining on top of them.
Connotation:The light could be divine light as if god was shining on them saying that they are a divine band, which they are its queen for gods sake.
Denotation:4 men in suits one woman in a white dress standing in front of a stripy background.
Connotation: They look quite well dressed the band looks smart and watchable. The colours used are quite smart so people who wouldn't normally have this style of music in their house/car because of the cover people might consider this one because of how smart looking the cover is.

Denotation: A woman touching her bum, she is naked, she has a black glove o her hand.
Connotation: A picture of a naked woman touching herself this is trying to appeal to the male/teen audience. The album could be full of sexual innuendo so the cover is then referring to the content of the disk.
Denotation: A guy wearing as white shirt with blue jeans and a red rag out of his back pocket standing in front of the American flag
Connotation: Standing in front of the American flag being patriotic.wearing typical clothes for an american cool guy. You can smell the freedom ! ... And the cheese burgers.

  1. It was a good description of what the albums are very good with clear denotation and connotation. Possibly a wider range of description on the Connotation possibly with a meaning.
