Kanye West - Graduation

 The album cover isn't a very typical album cover, it's done in cartoon with a very abstract image of a teddy being shot into the sky in celebration of graduating, matching the title of the album 'Graduation'. We can see this as we see the hats being thrown in the hair in the typical fashion of graduation and the balloons which connotes celebration. The parental advisory sticker sticks out in the bottom left comer with the record label and producers in small print above. The variety of different bright colours suggests that the album is going to be more lively and adverse. Which is then shown in the music with tracks featuring T-pain to Coldplays Chris Martin.
The advert is very simple and isn't as bright the cover and with the different colours you don't immediately link in to the album through the use of colour. However you see the image of the teddy which is the same face as the one on the album cover, and this links it to the album cover. The teddy is wearing Kanye West's signature aviator glasses which again does link it to the artist. The writing simply tells us the artist and when the album is out.
