This is the Chase and Status "No More Idols" album cover. The title of the album contrast the black and white background image of a dog. The colour used is yellow. It is commonly known that yellow is the most visible colour from the furthest distance. This therefore may be an influence for using this colour. It is bright and outstanding on the background image. Despite the background image being dominant on the cover, the bold yellow front still stands out and fits the conventions of the album cover as the artists name is extremely visual like other album covers.
This is the artists second album. Artists tend to be more serious when it comes to their second album, especially if their first has been successful. Therefore I think this image was chosen for a deeper reason. The use of an aggressive dog could portray a message "don't mess with us". This could lead the audience to believe that they're serious about their music and are here to stay in the industry for a long time to come.
Because of the image of the dog, the representation of the album and artist comes across as quite aggressive. This is partially true as the genre of the music is house/dubstep. This music is generally quite heavy. It is also quite stereotypical of a rebellious teenagers and seen as quite "chavy."
Therefore, this type of dog relates nicely to the genre as it is also linked to a rebellious nature "chavs" due to the aggression in its face.
