Analysing two album covers:
Coheed and Cambria: No World for tomorrow

On this album cover there is man standing in front of a futuristic city. It is in bland boring colours to show that this album is no joke, it looks slightly more serious than other album covers and seems to be telling a story, the world is falling apart and meteors are flying in all directions, it is trying to show I think that the this world is in trouble. Furthermore there is a empty black section on the top left of the cover, is this trying to show that this album is a dark album, maybe a heavier kind of music and not mainstream. There is also no writing on the album cover, this may suggest that the band only expect people who know the band really well to buy their music, I believe this because the bands logo is on the album cover so a Coheed and Cambria fan would automatically recognise the sign and then realise that this is a album they do not yet own.

Mastodon: Crack the Skye

This album cover is almost other worldly, sentient spirits seem to be on either sideof the frame, almost like guardians of a entrance. There is a other worldly looking sphere in the middle of the cover maybe to the two spirits are guarding this possible entrance this might be suggesting that listening to this album is a portal to another kind of music and should not be for the faint hearted, and this sort of music is different to that you have listened to before. The font type on this album cover is rather bold and easy to read and also seems to go with the rest of the album cover, as it seems to be almost mystical. The colours in the album are rather noble and bright colours. The two guardians seem to look like Czar from Russia, Czars would wear colour such as show on this album, this might be trying to show that this album is high quality, as suggested by the colours, or might be trying to show that it is brutal like the Czars were.
