My third video and digi pack i will be looking at is Drake and his album 'Thank me later' this album was realised June 15Th 2010 by young money entertainment and cash money records, within a week of realising his debut album it sold over 447,000 copies in just America alone.
Drake is quite a new artist in the music industry who made it big through himself he didn't really anyone to help him he basically followed the American dream from starting off with nothing and getting big by one of his fist well known songs that he did with other well known artist like lil wayne, kanye west and Eminem, that song talks about 'how he had nothing do for me' is a lyric he uses saying that he doesn't have anything done for him and he made it him self. The song i will be looking at by drake is 'find your love' which talks about him searching for his love with a girl.



The front cover of his album is a white back ground with his picture outline and painted in with a black paint and a red shadow outline with his beard and his neck and a item of clothing he is wearing looking very serious and again like hes perhaps showing off in a way how the title is 'Thank (drake) me later' and hes standing there and his image is almost showing arrogance to his work saying he knows its going to be good and will be a bigger seller before he actually released it. The black outline with the red shadow fits quite well i think to the pictures because it almost looks like its digital and its being like video and it just gone blurry but hes not affected by it. Thank me later means from his point of view which he has quoted 'when my album becomes big you will be the one asking for something not me trying to make my dream happen i will be your dream and i will make it reality'



This is the inside cover of the album the first page is a picture of drake looking like its been faded a bit with glasses on and again its a black and white picture of him with a gold ring around his picture which could show loyalty and riches, it could almost be saying he thinks he deserves him to be on a coin or a paper note as hes sitting in the same pose as the queen.
The other side of the picture is a angel figure all in black which could be saying its bad or it can be like trying to say that drake is better than an angel and like she looks up to him by how she is looking in the picture to almost say drake is 'god' and as his album is called thank me later she might trying to be asking for something as he quoted he will make dreams reality so he is showing that he is a strong figure. So its showing that he is comparing himself to a angel and saying he is 'better' or more important and perhaps hes in a 'league of his own'.


The back of the album cover has got like a weird almost tribal pattern going around the outside with in the corners there are little love hearts which could show that a lot of his songs are to do with love especially the one I'm focusing on 'find your love' the songs are like all going round a pattern in the middle of the cover showing that those songs could all almost be worshipping that symbol or showing that the symbol means something to do with his songs and that the all revolve around it. The writing at the bottom is explain all the music industries used to make this album and the artists that are featured in it and the logo's of some of the companies. The cross in the middle of the cover could show that he is religious or could show he believes in god etc and from the inside cover of the angel means hes religious.

The poster for this digi pack is a picture of drake coming out a plane saying thank me later as if to say that his riches have paid off now and he is wealthy with a suit case and all his 'swag'. With bright lights as well showing riches, the way how the thank me later words are in big standing out font show he really means it and is confident about how 'big' this album is going to be and he is almost comparing it to the jet behind him saying its as big as that. You can also tell that he is rich from his private jet in the back ground, the bag symbolises rich from in films when you see someone with a bag like that full of money showing a similarity.
