Again, on this Snow Patrol album, the font is kept the same throughout the artwork, as is the distorted (nearly picasso-esque) visual style of the front cover. Simplicity is the word here as well, using only blacks, greys and whites. The two lovers in the image fit the album's running theme of love and relationships and the mise-en-scene fits the tone, which is not often happy.
It's becoming clear that colour and complexity are things for us to avoid in our own design and that a successful cover should link to the lyrical and musical themes of the album. In our case this will be theme of something lost, whether that is achieved through an image of someone searching or the object they are searching for (as we have already tested).
