The album artwork below is from the band "Keane", for their third album "perfect symmetry". The layout of the artwork is of many triangles filled with one of three different features, whether it be a vibrant colour, an image of a section of someones face, or a solid black fill. The vibrant, different colours will attract the reader to album, this is as bright, attractive colours catch the audience's eye as they stand out. The randomly dotted images of parts of Tom Chaplin's (frontman of "Keane") face give another effect. The positioning and the actual images themselves give an iregular feel for the audience, this is as the facial features are mixed about on the CD cover and even have Tom Chaplin looking up at his own mouth. Then the solid black triangles are used the break up the other two effects and emphisise them more, making the overall image stand out. Then the band name stands out in the center of the image due to being bold in a solid white font colour and also being printed in the band's iconic font. The album title is then printed much smaller below the band's name in a vibrant yellow colour.
I believe the overall effect of this album art is to emphisise a more iregular approach on the album. Tom Chaplin has been quoted as saying he wanted to take a more "organic approach" on the album, and so by the album giving this unorthadox, block-type effect, along with vibrant, attractive colours, the artist (korean, Osang Gwon) has achieved this goal.
This has inspired me for my own ideas as I like how Osang Gwon has managed to create this effect, as well as incorperating the frontman of "Keane", Tom Chaplin, as he is recognisable to the bands fanbase and general public.
