The word 'Ill' is placed as tower blocks, so the narrative may link to estates and the estate rough life. The way 'ill' is placed on the poster may suggest that the characters may live there and that's where the film is set. Setting is presented as the central theme of the cover. He could be rapping about the estate life and what occurs in the film. The logo that has Plan B's name in it, shows the creative side of him and the logo is of a cutter type thing, which can connote that knifes may be involved in the storyline. They are both placed at the top of the media text, which shows the importance it has towards Plan and the film. This will let the audience know that Plan B is a big part of the production of the film and it may suggest to them that some of the events that occur in the film, may have happened to him in real life.

On the Album Cover, Plan B is sitting on a wall, smoking. Plan B looks very 'hood', he looks like he doesn't care about his appearance  This connotes that characters in the film may be doing so, which also lets the audience know the film is very explicit. In the background, you can see estate blocks, which links to the narrative. The characters may be living there during the film. On the website, you can some of the characters that are in the film. One of the characters is wearing a tracksuit, which links to what Plan B was wearing on the Album Cover. The outfits that they are wearing, could meet the stereotypes, that people who live on estates are 'chavs' and are wearing tracksuits. There is a gang of people in the background, which could be meeting the stereotypes that gangs live in estates and are very rough people.

On the Album Cover, Plan B is smoking which can reveal that the characters in the film, may do so. This shows the audience that they can see that the film will be explicit about drugs. Also, the smoking is an iconic prop in these 'British urban' films, so the audience will automatically be able to recognise the props being used and not be offended  as they will be use to seeing that. Also, In the background, you can see estate blocks, which shows the audience that it might link to the location of the film. This can allow the audience to see that it may show what the 'estate' life is about and how people deal with their every day problems. However on the website, there is a gang in the background, which may be the characters in the film, that are wearing tracksuits and hoods. This is also an iconic prop that is popular with the British public, the audience will automatically be able to recognise it. This is also a stereotypical look, as most gangs wear tracksuits and hoods, so it reinforces the stereotype. 

On the website, the estate blocks are placed behind the characters and may be a back drop, to show that audience that they all live in the estates, and have a 'estate life'. This can connote that they have rough lives and that is how people living the 'estate life' are stereotyped. They are all posing in a way which makes them look like a gang that will commit crimes, and this can link to the that fact that they have no manners - 'manors ill'. This allows the audience to see that they lack manners and this is because of the 'estate life'.
