The conventions include the center of the image having the album's name. A medium shot from the waste below is used to show the professionalism and the theme of seriousness in his music with the roses on the stage floor together with his suit and glimmer black shoes. The wording is very formal and clear so that any consumer can easily understand it. This choice of shot has been used compared to that of any other to show the beauty in the song by showing a iconic view of the 'curtain call'.

The colour scheme of the name shows the artist name in red in and a dark grey filter of the image showing a ominous theme and something interesting at first sight to the consumers. The wording is very appealing as the producers of the artist music is used in a unique font and written at the top whilst the rest of the wording is at the bottom with standard writing apart from the pun at the bottom.
