Analysis Of Lil Wayne Tha Carter 2 Album Cover.

One way that Lil Wayne is represented on this album cover is the use of colours the black and white effect makes Lil Wayne look classy and wealthy this is shown clearly with the polished black rolls royce phantom which isnt exactly one of the cheapest cars.. shimering in the lights. This suggests that he is powerful, wealthy and successful in life. Another message sent out about lil wayne on this cover is the way he wears his clothes and his muscular strong physique. One example of this representation can be seen as him without his top on lighting also effects his muscular physique by highlighting his mucles creating shadows below them aswell to make them stand out and makes his physical appearance looking more high maintenance. Also the way he wears his trousers low and baggy shows that hes from the ghettos of America. This shows that you can still get rich even if your from the poorer parts of the world and that this album cover is targeted to the audience of young black males in America. Another representation is Lil Waynes posture as he poses learning backwards onto the slick polished car rather than him being slumped forward this makes him look a lot more stronger and slick. One of the main represtations used here i think is the us of  the camera shot of Lil Wayne as its looks up towards him. This is a highly important feature as its making himself look powerful, intimidating and more dominant to everybody else.
