In some ways the artwork for "Union" is even more simplistic than for the others we have researched. Aside from the front cover and behind the CD (bottom right in the photos) it is entirely black, with track titles and logos. Perhaps this is a step too far as it suggests the album is more grim and minimalist than it actually is. However, the front cover art is excellent (simple once again) and though it does not clearly link with the title it works. It is mysterious and suggests different emotions than "Union" might initially make you think of, even making the title sound ironic. Here again the same font is used throughout, so we should definitely make sure we follow that convention.
As our video is not ironic and links strongly to the song it would be unwise for us to follow these themes in our artwork, however interesting they are. While not being overly happy, "Love Lost" is not a grim song either, so we will avoid using as much black emptiness as this design does too.
