Organic Album Covers

James Bay

By looking at this album cover there are different elements to it that make it stand out the artist stand out as being an 'organic' artist over a 'synthetic' one. 

• The simple drawing in the centre of the album could be seen as reflecting the pureness of his music.
• It could be seen as a way of suggesting that he wants people to appreciate his music more than the image he has.
• The blue background portrays a sense of calm, and relates to the title as it could be seen as water.
• The simplistic font shows that he is just being who he is and is staying true to himself.
• Instead of using graphic designs and complex digital imagery, the choice of the painting in the background gives off an impression of the album being original- like his music.
• Even though there is no picture of a face, it still appears he is looking down thoughtfully suggesting that his music will be quite deep.
