The document provides an analysis of the album cover, interior artwork, and back cover of Keane's "Strange Land" album. The front cover depicts two isolated modern buildings in an empty landscape, representing different paths in life. The interior continues this theme, focusing on the buildings. The back cover shows two lamp posts on a beach, also symbolizing different life paths, with one larger to suggest a favored route. Common themes across the visuals are duality, uncertainty, and unexpected changes.

1. Keane – strange land
The main cover of this album shows empty land
with two buildings in the near distance. There is a
link to the title of the album in a couple of ways
here, one is that the buildings are stuck in the
middle of know here and the buildings look to
modern for the land. The other key point about the
buildings is that they are separate. So at first glance
the picture does look strange and there are
something not quite right. There is a big contrast
between the blue clear sky and the red stone or
rocky floor. Another point to pick out is what looks
to be blue glass or a reflection of blue in the
windows on the buildings. In-between the buildings
there is what looks to be a light shining and it is on
in what looks to be the day time, also what feels
strange is that with the buildings being in the middle
of know where it asks the question where does the
power come from and how does it get there.
Obviously there are bigger questions like who works
here and what is the place for. So as the title
suggests there is a definite link between strange
land and the image on the album cover.
The font and text on this album cover
stand out well. The keane heading is
suppose to stand out and have the most
impact on the cover and the font is there
official logo font so it is the same as all
other keane products and
advertisements. Also the white text
stand out against the dark blue. The
strange land title text looks to be a sort
of a underlining for the band name and
the yellow represents a different heading
within the album cover.

2. This is the cd for the keane strange land
album.
It uses the same picture as the front
cover and also has the title and band
name in roughly the same position but
because of the disc hole in the middle
they have moved up the text. Due to the
size of a disc in comparison to the cover
picture the image has had its sides cut
off, in doing so the focus of the picture is
very much so on the two buildings and
this brick or stone wall that is coming
down from the two buildings.
The image appears to be darker which
might be to show that there is no change
with in the buildings or to show that
there is no change in the personality of
the buildings. The buildings look the
same as each other so there could be a
possibility that they represent two
different paths each looks hopeful and
promising but only one leads to where
you want to go.
Some of the the band members believe
that this album is a very emotional one
that talks about setting off on a path and
going a certain way but realizing that life
can some times take certain unexpected
turns that can change or delay your
journey. And I believe that deep down this
picture does show that there are two
choices and two different roads in life.

3. This is the back of the keane album, and this is
totally different to the other image that they have
gone for.
This picture shows peacefulness by the smooth
ocean that can be seen right up to the horizon
which gives a interesting picture.
The picture is most definitely dominated my the
two lamp posts that stand on a beach front. What
gives the posts the power that they hold in the
photo is the fact that they are on and they are
bright. To pick out the similarities between the
two keane photos in this album is that there are
two buildings and in this shot two lights that keep
the suspicion that they could represent different
ways or paths in life. The reason that one lamp
could be bigger than the other could suggest that
one of the paths in life always stands out more or
is more favorable to someone and there is a slight
focus change between the to lamps that could
suggest that a path has been picked or that
sometimes the decision is made for you.
The font and text of the songs that are on
the album is small and is not that well stud
out from the deep grey clouds that have
filled the sky over this beach or sea front.
The font color suggest peace but the grey
clouds suggest otherwise
