Album Cover anaylsis- Coldplay

The colour scheme also follows a scheme throughout their performances as in each of their performances as they make sure this paint colour is on their personal clothing or that in fact they paint their instruments in the graffiti style to make it relatable to the album cover.

The name of the album almost shows the Coldplay cult, by this I mean that unless you listened to Coldplay or in fact followed their music you wouldn't get the name and you wouldn't know it was indeed their music, they achieve this by using a totally irrelevant title to the album, so unless you knew what you was looking for you wouldn't realise immediately whose album it was.
This is also shown as they are not on the album cover showing the individual side to the album and how only real fans, or people who know the band will buy the album.

The graffiti is used on this album cover to show the vibrancy of Coldplay’s new album and how they were and still are very much breaking away from the usual norms they followed. They do this by using the graffiti because it breaks them away from the norms and almost shows their rebellious streak, rebelling from the norms they used to follow.
The symbols are also used on the album, to add another element to the album cover as they represents the songs, shown through little emojis.

 

In our own album covers we have thought about using the idea, of not putting our 'band' name on the CD cover to make it more original, it also allows you to make the cover more interesting, as like Coldplay the use of leaving their name from the album cover, gives the ability of making the cover in any way they see fit without having to fit in with their expectations.
We would also like to play with colours as the genre of our song, fits under the genre of 'alternative  rock' so the use of colours, and no band, would once again deviate from 'rock' norms, making the album more original and fitting to the genre in which our song falls.
