The 1975 album cover has a simplistic yet stylish and edgy black and white design. The white writing stands out against the dark background, grabbing people's attention. The 'spotlight' effect on the band name makes it the focal point. This punk-inspired design gives listeners a sense of the band's musical style. The back cover maintains the same color scheme and stylized font for the song titles. Though the CD inside follows the dark color theme, the black writing distinguishes it while still drawing attention through its central large text. The consistent visual style across the packaging creates an attractive overall presentation.
