The document discusses an album cover for the electronic music duo 2manydjs. It notes that the cover uses high-key colors that draw attention to a central color image of a man to highlight the protagonist. It also features a sense of humor by showing the man with a bag on his head, highlighting the artists' mystery consistent with most electronic music duos. The cover aims to portray the duo as alternative artists through an irrelevant but artistic image rather than showing their faces.

The colours are more high key on this
album cover which draws the viewers
attention. The main colour is grey but
the image of the man stands out in
colour to highlight the central
protagonist in the photo.
The Guttenberg Principle used, our eyes
go from the text in which we take in the
artists name, then to the image.
A sense of humour is put on the album
cover which shows the characteristics of
2manydjs. The fact that the man has a
bag on a head highlights the mystery of
the artists.
2manydjs are another alternative djing duo. Similarly to The Chemical Brothers they do not follow the usual
conventions to mainstream artists. A similar characteristic between all electronic djs is the sense of mystery…it is
very rare to see the artist’s faces on the album and they usually show an image on the front of the album which
is irrelevant to the album but shows a more artistic factor. They are not only showing that they are alternative
but give the viewer a taste of art.
