What Oasis tried to accomplish with this album artwork was conveying to the audience what kind of people they were. In this shot, they are situated in a small living room, with a small Television and some odd decor. But we see from the scene that they are very average lads, they watch football as seen by them picture just in front of the fireplace. By sending a message like this, they make the audience think that they are similar to them, and that although they are rock stars, they live a similar life style.
However we do feel that the band is slightly sohpisticated... The glass of wine, the vinyl resting on the sofa and the dress code of some of the members is a higher class than what you would have expected.
The globe however has been placed to represent the future for the band and their ambition of what may be (in a musical sense) world domination. We see this again on the left wall, the sky has been reflected brightly in the mirror, possibly showing that the possibilities for the band are limitless.
The band name is in black and white, all the letters are lower case but in bold and incased in a black box. It looks very formal, possibly used to establish a sense of respect for the band. They want to be taken seriously, despite the working class appeal and down to earth attitude, they are proffessionals and want to be recognised for it.
