This is the front cover of the All American Rejects album Gives You Hell. The A and the R with the lightening bolts help to represent the rock genre and is typical of the band. It could also help to represent the stereotype of what people picture when hell is mentioned. This goes with the name of the album and one of their songs " Gives you Hell". However this can also go against the song as the song is about a jealous ex boyfriend telling his ex that when he sees her he hopes she will be scared.
The font for "All American Rejects" is the same font that is used for the band name on each album and also for the covers of their singles, it looks like graffiti. This then means that when you see that font from a distance it helps you to tell that it is one of their albums. Where it says "Gives You Hell"the white goes slightly over the letters in a way that resembles fog. The font for it is also block writing which matches the font used for the A and R symbol, this all takes up the bottom half of the cover.
The band is sat on what looks a stage with crates behind them. They look very relaxed and are looking down as if you are a member of an audience they have just performed for, they are all also looking in the same direction as if they are all looking at the same person.
For this we used final cut.
