2. Front cover
• The different genres of music included on this album include : pop, hip hop, grime and acoustic
• The colours used on the album cover consist of different shades of orange, and I think this is very
effective as this makes Ed Sheeran look mysterious and doesn’t give much away about his character.
• His face is positioned in the middle of the cover which connotes he is the centre of attention, and
the album name is very unusual as its just a symbol + and placed on the bottom right of the cover.
This is very clever as when ever people see this symbol + they will instantly think of Ed Sheeran and
they associate that symbol with him.
• He is looking straight at the audience
• Record labels – asylum, atlantic and elektra

3. Spine
• The spine continues
with the orange
theme and the text
written on the spine is
‘Ed Sheeran’ placed on
the left and in the
middle is the album
name +.
• On the right is the
record label ‘Asylum’
• Text is all in white

4. Back cover
• The Song list is placed in the
middle of the cover, in simple
white text.
• Record labels also shown (asylum
and atlantic) along with any other
information about the album.
• Production credits – in a very
small black font at the bottom, as
it is not as important to the fans.
However, it concerns the
production teams and copyright
information.
• On the bottom left Ed Sheerans
website is printed –
edsheeran.com – maybe
connoting his website isnt as
important as his songs but is still
there for his fans to view.
• Barcode

5. Inside panes
• Lyrics of all the songs on the album are
included in the inside panes. It is very
simplistic which is similar to the front and
back cover.
