Analysis of digipaks/CD covers- Representation 2

 
On the front cover of 'Birds in The Trap Sing McKnight' Travis Scott is represented as an angel-like being. He has black wings as opposed to white wings of a traditional angel which distances him from the ideal depiction of an angel. The black/blue colour of his wings may suggest an association with the underworld, which would mean he is a fallen angel. The smoke emerging from his face may suggest that he has fire in him, in the rap scene 'having fire' refers to one's lyrics being extremely impressive and good. Fire is usually associated with hell, which supports the depiction of him being a fallen angel.
