John Bon Jovi lost highway album cover analysis

The picture on the cover is an exact representation of the title of the album it shows a highway that no one else is on suggesting that it is lost

The long high way in front of the car connotes that they don’t where they are going as they can’t see anything in the background coming into view this represents an enigma code as you can’t see anything of where they are or where they’re going they also don’t know what will happen

But the image is quite peaceful so gives a sense of ease and that maybe nothing bad is going to happen.

The use of the word “lost” for a highway is contradicting as everyone knows where they are and uses them frequently this connotes that they in another reality this is the semantic code

Cultural aspects

The picture is in 2 layers as the picture of the road is the base picture then the dash board is placed over the top. It also kind of follows rules of thirds as the sky takes up majority of the screen
