The focus of this album cover is very much the artist. Amy Winehouse is sitting infront of a blackboard, which means the viewers eyes are nowhere else but on her - simply because there is nothing else to look at. The house colours here are black and white. The idea of the album being called 'back to black', and her sitting infront of a black board is quite clever. It gives me the impression that by this she means she is going back to basics, what she knows best. That's why she is the focus of the cover.
