This is paramores Blu ray movie of the videos from their third album RIOT. The whole of the cover is set out using three different colours. Red, black and white, all the writing which concerns the title of the band and the songs is in the red colouring, which is done in order to make the name of the band stand out. Usually on the front of paramores Albums or Dvds you will find that the bands name is in red, it is the bands signiture colour.

On the front cover the top third has the artists name, in red on the black background. The middle third, which takes up most of the page has the whole band pictured in black and white though the photos are not a shot of the whole band together, it is a collgae divided into four parts, with each member of the band in each forth.

The Spine has got Paramore located down the side, again in red writing. It is simplistic in order to make the name stand out. The red writing also plays a part in introducing the genre of the band as red is a colour of rage and paramore is a rock band. Also, the picture of the band playing live connotes that they play live music with instruments and a lead singer.

The back of the cover, has a portrait group photo sat on the steps, again this is in black and white in order to contrast with the bright red. What is different about this is the lead singer, Hayley Williams is pictured in colour and remains to be the only one in colour. The effect that this has is that it shows that she is the lead singer. It also shows that the band is a little bit different as the lead singer is female, and the rest of the band, ie the guitarist basest and drummer are all male.
