Digipak 3: Nirvana- Never Mind

Nirvana is an American rock band that was most popular in the late 90’s. This album cover is following the stereotypical ‘rock’ genre as one of the conventions are that the faces of the members of a rock band are not usually shown on their album covers. They are more likely to show a controversial image, or an image that represents a certain idea that they believe in.

This album cover shows a baby floating in water and trying to grab money. This is basically stating the loss of innocence. That as soon as the baby is born everything is about money. Another connotation could be that the baby represents life and seeing as he is trying to get money means that life revolves around getting money. During fishing, living things are used as bait to draw the fish in. Sometimes they are thrown back in but the majority of the time they are hurt. The money in this image is attached to the fishing line as bait, and it suggests that we as humans will be reeled in to anything to do with money as we are all money hungry, but attached to the money is usually something negative.
