Pink Funhouse cover

Funhouse is the fifth studio album by Pink, released by LaFace records in October 2008.

The language on the album cover includes the title of the album and the name of the artist a number of times. A funhouse is an amusement facility found at a funfair in which patrons can have a number of unusual and hopefully amusing experiences. The colour scheme used is black, pink, white and a vintage yellow which links in with the retro style of funfairs and the pink diagonal banner ironically links to her name.
The word funfair is a polysemic word which could portray different interpretations of the album cover.
The wooden horse is significant to carousels at the funfair but it also links in with horseback riders at the circus. Her costume supports this idea as horseback riders in the circus wear pink dresses. Also, the fact that her dress is pink, again refers back to her name. This image of pink
riding a horse could also connote that she is riding through her music career as well as having fun which relates back to the title of the album, 'Funhouse', she could be referring to her career as a funhouse. Pink is also wearing a large diamond ring on her little finger which is a sign of success and wealth, her hair is short and messily styled to give off the impression that she doesn't care and that she has a more boyish side to her. This is also portrayed by her tattoos which are on view, they suggest she has a tough attitude or persona as well as being girly. Her pose is very staged, with her leg and foot pointed upwards, this could be seen to be quite flirty but fun, which is the main message the album cover is trying to get across. There is a lot of funfair imagery used on this album cover, such as the black swirling pattern at each corner and the font of her name is vintage and retro and referential to Circuses and funfairs.



This image shows the front cover, the back cover, the spine and the CD for Pinks album 'Funhouse'. The back cover supports the colour scheme on the front cover and the retro font styles. The CD art also supports the colour scheme running throughout and refers to the 'horseback riding' circus theme.
