Green day 21 guns album cover


The black and white colour fonts used in the artwork contrasts each other, the white 'Green day' font connotes innocence however, '21 guns' is black and connotes power. It could be interpreted the font colours have been chosen to contrast each other to show Greenday is innocent in terms of their involements with guns and they view guns to be the opposite of what they stand for. From this we can view a political message from the band.
It could be interpreted 21 Guns by Greenday represent the working class, the font used for the text is similar to spray paint and this type of caligraphy is generally found in urban population/working class enviroments. By representing the working class it enables the working class to feel empowered and not as the underdog in society.

The name of the single '21 Guns -Greenday' makes the audience feel the title is enabling the audience to be aware voilence regarding guns is invovled in the song. This therefore, evokes the audience with a sense of worry because in todays society guns are use negatively.
