CD cover analysis- Paramore

Paramore-Riot


This is the CD cover for the Paramore's second album which was released on June 12, 2007. The album was named 'riot' because the band felt the meaning of the word represented what the song and lyrics were about 'a turbulence of emotions'. The cover shows the word riot repeated over and over again in a scribbled font, this is to reflect the meaning of the word 'a wild or turbulent disturbance'. There is no picture of the band, again this may be because the band name is so recognisable there is no need for one. The colours;black, white and orange, used for the cover are ones that are quite relevant to the band as the lead singer is well-known for her fiery red/orange hair and the orange may represent this.
