Famous Album Art

This is album artwork for  'MIKA'. The mixture of colours is what really catches your attention, along with the very randomly placed cartoon images. What I do love about this artwork is that just on the left side you can see an image they have put in a real life picture of Mika himself so that even though there is lots going on in the image and not everything is real life, among all this his there somewhere. I also love the style of artists name as it goes along with the cartoon type theme but is clear to us.


 This is the album artwork for the album titled 'The miracle' by Queen. Although we have this obvious, unusual center piece , the rest of the artwork is quite plain and simple which I personally think makes the artwork seem more interesting because we are focused on what seems to be a merged image of each of the band members faces. This, I would say is a very unique styled piece of artwork which is not easily forgettable. I think it's simplicity is in contrast with their music such as the song 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is very out there and extravegant.



A simple, stunning and effective piece of artwork. '21' by Adele is the biggest selling album of the 21st century and has even outsold Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'. This effortless , stunning artwork is a clear reflection of Adele herself, and her flawless voice. I really am drawn to monotone theme, with the slightest hint of colour to stand out ever so slightly. I also think that the monotone style also reflects her type of music. Adele , to us, is very famous for her single 'Someone like you' which is not exactly the most upbeat, body pumping song to ever be written. It focuses on emotion, life and even though the song is about moving on and wishing someone the best, it is still considered quite a depressing, bad mood go to kind of song.

This is the album artwork for 'Celebration' by Madonna. It is contrasting with its attention to detail and then paying no attention to detail what so ever. The whole cover is made up of Madonna's face, we see clear detail of every aspect of the picture excluding the colour. What it looks like is that it has been coloured in using the 'spray paint' tool in Paint. It looks as if there was no accuracy at all , but that's what makes it interesting, the color goes across the lines, which goes against what we were all pretty much touch at a young age which was to 'stay within the lines'. This could give a slight reflection of Madonna and her character, in that maybe she's a little rebellious and goes against things sometimes.
