message: The album's artwork was designed by band members Jon King and Andy Gill, typical of their DIY approach. The cover depicts an "Indian" shaking hands with a "cowboy" in three heavily processed versions of the same image, the faces are reduced to blobs of red and white—that is, to the stereotypical racial colors. A text that winds around the images reads, "The Indian smiles, he thinks that the cowboy is his friend. The cowboy smiles, he is glad the Indian is fooled. Now he can exploit him." 
In the context of the album, this is less a protest of inter-ethnic conflict in the Old West than it is a commentary on the way that media images like "cowboys and Indians" (which is to say, Entertainment!) can convince people to act against their interests—as in the artwork on the album's back cover, depicting a family whose father says, "I spend most of our money on myself so that I can stay fat," while the mother and children declare, "We're grateful for his leftovers." 
On the album's inner sleeve, small photographs depicting scenes shown on television are interlaced with text illustrating what the band suggests are the misleading subtexts of media presentations: "The facts are presented neutrally so that the public can make up its own mind"; "Men act heroically to defend their country"; "People are given what they want." These are the types of social assumptions that Gang of Four seek to challenge with their own version of Entertainment!.
* The artwork is based on the movie poster for the Sauerkrautwestern Winnetou III (Winnetou_-_3._Teil). The original picture can be found here while the IMDb shows the edited picture from the DVD box. 81.191.195.10 (talk) 22:51, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
