Front Cover-The front cover is fairly simple in design.- The composition of the photo is half & half which means that the bottom half of the cover is simply black. The use of contrast has been increased to help stress this. - The band and album take central position on the front cover. Both fonts, (in particular) the band’s logo are in a sans-serif industrial font.

- Surprisingly the track listing actually features on the front of the album. It’s in a very small

font to the right of the album name. This isbreaking the codes & conventions of album

covers.- The front cover also introduces the runningmotif through the artwork, of graffiti. Graffiti

is very often linked to the nu-metal genre.
