PICTORIAL

On the inside cover there is a picture of 50 cent sitting in a basement writing lyrics this is suppose to reflect on the hard life he's had and how he became a rapper.

CD logo: The font of the artists name and title is in a stamp form this could symbolise a conviction stamp also it could relate to a video game.

DESIGN

Colour and style : The pictures have a dark contrast mixed with a yellow tint which gives it a video game and highlights 50 cents build, it also makes 50 cent look superior particularly because he's got the audience at gunpoint ( similar to james bond), a lot of hip-hop artists relate to their enemies in their songs or on their cd covers because it reflects to different gangs on the streets ( where rap originates from). 

The super- audio cd limited platinum edition is an unfold with 2 discs and only 500 copies were released its also has a booklet inside with lyrics on it and his production team.

The design of the CD itself has a dark colour scheme with a thuggish feel.

50 cent has a threatening facial expression and posture.
