n.W.a (DVD COVER ANALYSIS)


This is a rather interested DVD cover. Very different from any I’ve seen. This is purely because whereas other rap DVD covers feature the main rappers getting right into the camera with hand gestures, whereas this video has absolutely no one on it. The main image of the DVD cover is a car. This isn’t very good for people who don’t know he nWa are. The car doesn’t really give away anything about nWa so it’s inappropriate for the cover image. There are also absolutely no images of the DVD on the back of the DVD either. The design of it completely isolates new fans by giving them no information about the DVD whatsoever. Positives about this video are that it has a very violent, rap based colour scheme. The black to show darkness and the red to resemble blood, being the style of nWas rap. It also has a very practical layout for the song list. The white text stands out very well and it’s all positioned to one side in order to fit a large image on the back. The image of the car is really cool as well, with the bling in the window. I believe the main image should still be the members of nWa but as far as the photography goes the picture of the car is crystal clear. Overall I think this DVD cover let’s itself down with the lack of group members. It really needs them to make the cover make more sense. It does well to hold its own without them as well with a great layout and colour scheme but to stop it from being a great DVD cover it left the group out which is the entire of appeal of the nWa name.
