Analysis of Album Cover

Genre:

Neo-psychedelia
Synthpop
New Wave

Star Image:

This album cover is quite far fetched and is quite fitting to the genre. The fact the two characters are dressed in quite a tribal and distinctive style suggests that they are quite far fetched themselves. The setting for this cover is a remote island at dusk, and the moon is placed in between their heads which to me suggests psychedelia.

Image & Colour Pallette :

This is album uses a combination of blue and purple which creates a rather relaxing sensation. Even the characters have a slight purple tone to their skin which blends well with the make-up and outfits they are wearing. Overall the colours used are relatively low key however the shorts worn by one character attract attention due to their bright red colour.

Visual Narrative:

This photo looks as if it holds many stories as it is so mystical. It gives off no clues as to what the story might be so it lets the viewer create their own stories.

Iconography:

The text used for this album is quite simple, it is in block capitals and is written down the centre of the cover in between the two men. This grabs attention and advertises the artist.
