3. Vampire Weekend are a
very popular Indie band,
who have a large fan base.
Their album cover is
ambiguous, as the
audience does not know
who the girl is. The colours
are faded, the focus is
unconventional, and the
font colour and style is
kept extremely simple.
4. This album cover is very
random and obscure.
The colours are
contrasting (the bright
stripes with the faded
background), and the
image is unrelated to the
album title. The text is
minimal and once again
kept simple in font and
colour.
5. This cover is possibly the
most obscure, there is no
connection between the
image and the album title.
This creates humour, and
may attract the audience
to the ambiguity of it. The
colours are fairly bright,
but the design is kept
simple and
straightforward, and the
text is easily readable.
6. This is the most popular
and successful album. It
has the most simple
design, and the most
text. This is
unconventional, but the
challenging of
conventions may have
been what made it so
successful.
