This document provides analyses of the album artwork for several albums. In three sentences:
The document analyzes the album covers visually, discussing aspects like color schemes, imagery, and typography choices. Common themes examined include using the visuals to represent the artist's personality, genre, or themes in the music. The analyses also consider how elements like contrast, simplicity, and placement are used to clearly convey the artist and album title information.
2. In this his digipak you can see that the colour
scheme is put in two. As you can see we have
all white and a man in a business suit, I believe
that this means that his personality on the outside
is very boring and normal.
As you can see the colour scheme suggests that he
is actually a really creative person but is stuck to
being a normal person. This is why we have all the
colour in the top side of the picture, it is representing
his creative in his mind.
We see that his shirt and tie is coloured, what this
is suggesting to me is that he is forced to express
his creative through his appearance where in fact
he wants to express it through art.
Crazy -Gnarls Barkley
3. As you can see have misty sky
suggesting this could be the boys
imagination and the openness of
you thoughts. This also relate to the
bands name called ‘Imagine
Dragons’.
The steps up to the highest step is actually
referring to one of the main tracks ‘On Top of The
World’. But the colour scheme here suggests that
the journey to the top is grey. What they means is
that its not going to be easy, there is going to
obstacles in your way.
The typography here is extremely important to
how the band expresses their genre and their
album. As you can see here we have the title of
the band’s name in large letters and the name of
the album in small letters. The simplicities of this
makes the album stand out to offer album
covers.
Night Visions -Imagine Dragons
4. As you can see the album is obviously
split in two parts. We have the slums
in the bottom part of cover and then
the top half of the album we have a
city. What this is suggesting is that
the world is split between didn't
social groups. For example we have
the rich in the middle and poor on the
bottom. They are doing this do create
a contrasted between the 2 social
groups.
The typography in this album cover is
very interesting, this is due to the use
of contrast, as you can see in the
white sky we have black typing and
then in the slums we have white
typing. This can be interpreted in
different ways, the way that I interpret
the contrast is is due to the colours
used. Black is known to be seen as
nothing and that there is no more.
But white is the colour that represents
hope, so what I believe is that all the
people in the slums look up to the
city with hope. Also they did this is
due to the fact they want it to be
obvious who is the artist and what is
the name of the album.
Not Giving in -Rudimental
5. In this album cover we can see that
they have used the 3 strand
technique, this is due to factor that
in your brain you see the album
cover as a whole and don’t look at
each strand individually.
As you can see in the middle strand
we can see him running away from
something. Due to the title ‘Bad Blood’
I interpret him running from his future
and his family that he may recently
discovered. But most likely he is trying
to run away from reality.
The typography in this album cover
is simple, it is in contrasted to the
back ground of the strands so it
makes it stand out more. Also the
size of the images it obvious who
the band are and what is the name
of the album.
“Bad Blood” -Bastille
6. This is an interesting album cover because it
is an soundtrack for the film Fast and Furious 7,
But i’m still analysing this due to the interesting
2 strand approach to marketing this product.
The 2 strand is interesting, due to the fact they
haven't stuck a lot of information on the cover.
The only thing you can analysis is that the car is
obviously dominant in the plot of the film and that the
cars actually control everything and all the people
in the bottom strand are under the cars spell but this
is my interpretation of the image.
The typography used in this album
cover is very simple, they just have
used the contrasted between white
and black so it stands out in the
picture.
