There are three layers to this artwork, one showing a picture of Ronson himself, another of his name and one with a sort of red background. The album cover aims to reflect an old billboard. This may be because all the songs on the album are cover versions of older songs. He uses only 3 colours, red, white and blacks, which makes the cover quite plain and simple. His music is quite old fashioned and retro which perhaps is why he has represented his album has sort of a 1960's billboard as if he is looking back rather than forward.
This artwork also inherits a similar style to the previous one. It has more colours and a variety of styles. Colours include pinks, blues blacks and a cream/beige in the background. His hairstyle and shades is very 80's which again could suggest he is inspired from past decades and tries to represent this style through his image. But the bottom right hand corner reflects a futuristic look so he is making references to not past and future. His face on this album cover is on numerous record sleeves. This album cover is made up of album covers from 80's artists. An example is Duran Duran's 'Rio' album cover which can be seen in the top left hand corner.
