Analysing The Front Cover:

I like that the cream coloured swirl contrasts the yellow. It makes it look like a desert.

I like the yellow background, again it contrasts the cream and looks like a desert.

This is a small picture to represent the artist and shows him on a journey.

The smaller title of the album makes the artist’s name stand out more.

Because the artists name is the same colour as the swirl, it again stands out.

The border makes the album stand out.

Again the smaller person shows them on a journey.

Analysing The Back Cover:

The writing being small and in all lower case, shows how it’s informal.

The cream border at the bottom and top again contrast the yellow.

Positioning the barcode and information at the bottom gives the impression that there is a lot of space on the back cover.

The writing being on a slant either side, and it being the cream colour make it stand out.

The cream circle on the yellow border make the writing stand out and it is the first thing you see.
