The background of the picture is set on a clear US motorway. The words ‘Recovery’ are posted in white along the front of the cover, in bold with an ‘O’, in the shape of an emergency service symbol. Eminem appears to be walking off into the distance with his back to the camera/shot. The cover art lacks Eminem’s name on it, and has a Parental Advisory sticker on the far right of it. The far end of the image is blurred, towards the far end of it, however it is sharp at the front of it.
Connotations
The clear background, long winding road sets the scene that suggests that Eminem, is on the way to finding himself, or walking away from something; this could potentially represent the problems in his life. The clear blue sky, may possibly represent tranquillity Eminem is feeling in his life at that stage. Eminem is dressed in a hoody, and a hat on his head, the picture however represents Eminem being at the start of the road to ‘Recovery’. The lack of his name, on the cover may be as a result of Eminem trying to find himself.
