The document provides an analysis of two album covers: Origin of Symmetry by Muse and House of the Holy by Led Zeppelin. For Origin of Symmetry, the summary notes that the font and design are simple and bold to grab attention. Very little information is given to intrigue listeners. For House of the Holy, the unusual font presents Led Zeppelin as different from top artists. The photos provide more information about the album than the text. Both covers leave much open to interpretation.
