Album Artwork Research

I like the intricate details of this album cover, as it makes the artwork look more interesting because there is more to look at. The muted/pastel colours contrasts with the black and makes the artists name stand out. Having the album name in a banner makes it stand out, consequently pushing the name to the front of the cover, and promoting its importance.

The use of only two prominant colours, the yellow and blue, makes the cover look lively and bright, as it can be associated with sunny days. I like the album and artist name design, as it looks like it has been cut out and stuck on the abum, making it less professional, but more original.

I like how the cover is laid out here, with the writing at the top and bottom of the image, rather than overlapping it. The image itself is also really striking, but also simplistic.

The main image of the artist in a city is blurred out, which I think creates an interesting effect because most covers that feature the artist on the front, try to make them the main focus to show the consumers who's music it is straight away.

The red lighting at the top of the cover links well with the song name Dancing With the Devil, and the shadow and model create a creepy effect, adding to the idea of devils.

I like the use of the black and white image, and the album name being in a similar colour adds to the effect. Having the artists name in colour, promotes the artist effectively as prospective consumers who like the artist will notice the name first and will be more likely be interested in the album.
