This music album cover by the band, Maroon 5, follows the structure and conventions to successfully portray their message. Firstly, the bands name is situated at the top of the cover to make sure that it is visible. The font of the bands name is in an iconic font that allows the audience to recognize it as the band. The message of passion and intimacy in their music can also been seen through their name of the heart on the M of Maroon. The album name is beneath the name of the artist which is typical of a music album cover as this allows the audience to be able to see the name of the album. The font of the album name is in a similar font as the artist name but is in a luscious red which connotates for love, passion and seduction. Also, the whole picture is tinted in a rose colour which is a connotation for love and optimism that reflects the albums message from the band.
The main image is not of the band but of another image signifying their music that revolves around love, relationships and intimacy. Therefore, the naked woman in the bed, being caressed with lots of arms reflects this message of the band. The woman being naked also connotes for intimacy and that the band are not afraid to reveal passion and sexuality in their music. This image takes up the whole of the cover so that the cover is very visible and makes it stand out to the audience.
Also, the way that the album cover name is situated on the left of the image which can allow the image to be portrayed as a piece of art and the idea that the act of love is like a piece of art. This is due to the still image of the woman in a sexual embrace to show the pinnacle of a relationship and passion which the artists wants to reflect through their music. The arms that are not the woman's suggests that it could be one of the band members and once again links to the idea of intimacy being expressed throughout their music.
