Magazine analysis - Arctic Monkeys

This Arctic Monkeys album is titled "Whatever People Say I am That's What I'm Not" and the only image on the album shows a man smoking which would usually be frowned upon almost everywhere but this shows us that the Arctic Monkeys aren't your usual boy band they are a bit more rebellious and they almost commercialise smoking on there album and ignore the fact that its a bad habit to get into. The picture has a black and white affect over it which compliments the bands music as grungy and rocky and a bit "old school", so the picture creates this theme which you will also find with their music. The representation of the band through this album could be argued that of a negative one as the picture shows a man smoking and they pretty much glam up smoking and it portrays them as a rebel band which sings about being rough. The only title used on the cover is a picture of the bands logo which is just a picture of the bands name which is put to good use as the audience obviously want to know who's album it is.
