This Eminem album cover represents him as a typical "gangster". Firstly the parental advisory logo shows that the album contains swearing portraying him is a bad person but also makes the album more appealing to a younger audience as they think it is cooler and more dangerous to purchase. The slight low angle makes him look bigger but it also means that he has to look down on the camera making it seem like he is looking down at the audience which could be quite intimidating. The backwards cap again confirms his image as a typical rapper as does the oversized shirt. However the fact that the shirt is white contradicts the usual meaning of purity and the outside location and blue sky would normally create quite an innocent representation.
