Of Monsters & Men - My Head Is An Animal (Front cover only)


Front
- The picture is a long shot which shows the full artist, which connotes that their music shows their whole personality without hiding anything.
- The photo seems rather vintage, due to the grainy looking texture, which conforms to the folk genre as it appeals more to their target audience.
- There are no instruments visible which is not common among other folk albums, yet the clothing chosen denotes his simplicity and freedom which is very common among the majority of folk music.
- The setting of the album also visually aids this idea of freedom among the band as there is nothing more free than the sea.
- The band colours add to the simplicity of the cover, yet also helps the audience focus on the album name and band name in the top left corner as the first letters of the bands name are shown in pink and distinctive font which is unique and creates an image for the band.
- The style of writing is very individual and unique which not only attracts the audience to the most important part of the cover but creates an identity for the band.
- The solidarity of the artist is uncommon among folk music covers as the bands are usually shown as a group rather than individuality as it portrays unity.
- The house submerged in the background connotes that once the album is bought then your house will be filled with their music as well as their freedom which is shown by the sea.
