Critique: This is the album cover for Travis Barker's new album. I kind of like the design of it, the gun is a little unnecessary though. Travis tries to sell himself as such a bad boy sometimes, it can get annoying. But, a high level of contrast is used with the colour scheme. Red with white and/or black is the highest contrasting colour. The focal point of this is the gun. A level of hierarchy is seen in this cover, the size is one indicator and the repitition of the 'Fragile' sticker and the 1 gun is also an indicator. If that wasn't enough of an indicator, they even added a glow around the gun.
