The front cover for '15' by Buckcherry, features an extreme close up of a finger, with the album title drawn on in what appears to be chalk. The band name is positioned above, in a messy paint style of font, with the letter 'Y' obscuring the finger, making it look like a scar or wound, to which the black 'blood' drips to the base of the album. The red design at the 'base' of the finger is potentially meant to be blood, which would match with the idea of a wound, however there is a silhouette of a female, presumably the ones that often appear in Buckcherry videos. The scarred finger could also represent the music that they play, as guitarists often cut their fingers, so this may be representative of the the heavy guitar sound associated with Buckcherry and other bands of this genre.
The disc is solid white, with the band logo in the top right, and the album title is enlarged and is in the centre of the disc. The colour has been changed to red, so it may symbolise the blood from the finger, but it could also be simply so the female silhouettes would stand out more, as the three colours contrast rather heavily. The track list is numbered, and follows the line of the number '1', which creates a slight leading line.
The back contains fingers with a slight sepia effect, with the album title, band logo and track listing to the right. The colours have changed again, with the logo and title in black and the track listing in red. The colours seem to be an odd choice, as the album title doesn't stand out as much as the disc and as the much as the front cover.
