This is a DVD cover that seems to be glamorising violence. The dominant image on the front is Eminem holding a massive knife and with a hockey mask near him. As rappers base their appearance and mannerisms around intimidation, and in this merit Eminem has definitely achieved it. The image seems to be trying hard to mimic the stereotypical serial killer in an attempt to either scare or entice you, it manages to entice me but it seems a bit corny at the same time, but something tells me that’s meant to be intentional. One thing that bothers me about this DVD is how packed it is on the back. It’s a good thing that the DVD has a lot of tracks it means good value for money but visually it looks ugly and crammed. Maybe if they laid out the tracks in a different format such as a block of text. This way it would not only make the text look a lot better but also free up a lot of space for additional images, because the back of this DVD cover doesn’t have any images from the videos in the DVD. Overall this is a good looking DVD cover on the front but it becomes a bit empty looking on the back, not to mention too cramped. Although I really like the choice of colour throughout this DVD cover, I will need to replicate it in my groups DVD cover.
