The Rasmus: Hide from the sun album cover

Image:
The image is of a decayed butterfly
The butterfly looks derelict and mistreaten, possibly showing their emotions towards how they or their listeners have been treated
The butterfly is a countertype to how butterflys are usually percieved or related to, butterflys have connotations of colour and vividness, yet this seems to have all the life drained out of it, this creates a powerful image which plays on the audiences stereotypes, and thus causes them to apply the opposite feelings towards this album, and break from their stereotypical views.

Text:
"The Rasmus"
"Hide from the sun"
The writing on the rasmus matches the style of the album, there are decomposing leaves around the title, keeping with the theme of the album

Genre:
the creme background contrasts the tones of decaying
half of the background has been tainted with brown smudges

Target Audience:
The lack of colour suggests its for males
The way the image presents itself connotes a lack of understanding with teenagers, possibly a decay in the communication process?
