This is the album cover for Giggs and his album 'when will it stop'.
The cover of his album shows a post-apocalyptic vision of his native London a very damaged scene and represents danger and violence, the title of the album could also indicate the relation to the violence or on going issues in London and his music also tells the exact same story reading a review it said "The cover of his third album shows a post-apocalyptic vision of his native London, and it’s pretty much the same story with the music." This as a viewer helps understand the background or the content for the album. The whole scene behind the artist shows the disaster and also the artists problems linking in with the police which he has in past years. However the cover still shows a apocalyptic London which shows the that idea of the police versus gangs or crime, The artist being the centre of the cover and surrounded by the destructed scene puts him at the centre of attention and like he's the leader of it and last man standing as he's the only one in the city that survived. Also Giggs being dressed in all black also could link in with the film character 'Hit-Man' the character is dressed in all black and is usually confronted with problems from law enforcement, he is also walking forwards and is holding an object which could be seen as either a weapon of some sort or a complete opposite and carrying something that could represent peace. The artist in the cover is also generated with bright light surrounding him suggesting he is trying to present the right way as bright light surrounding someone connotes heavenly or being a light to others to follow in the same path. The setting allows him to stand out and could present a message.
