OS - Deconstruction of the album cover by Bombay Bicycle Club

Step 1
The Linguistic devices used are the name of the band ' Bombay Bicycle Club' and the name of their album ' I Had the Blues but I Shook Them Lose'

The iconic sign is that of a person being thrown up into the air by 10-15 or so people. This has many connotations mainly of trust and unity.

Step 2
There is quite a stand out font on the album with the title ' Bombay Bicycle Club' in bold blue letters with a square box around it. This stands out because of the fact that the photo behind the title is in black and white whereas the title is in a bold blue to stand out for people buying the album.

The album name ' I Had  the Blues But I Shook Them Lose' connotes the feeling of depression or sadness yet when you hear this music you will feel much better. Its like the album is trying to advertise positive feelings towards the audience. The music itself is also uplifting as the indie genre normally is upbeat and enjoyable to relax and listen to.
