This is Twenty One Pilots album cover for their latest album Blurry Face. The main layout of the album cover is a black background with white patterns and fonts and some orange accents to accompany it. It has a basic 3 x 3 circle design with patterns embedded within each circle to give that abstract look. The black and white layout of the cover mimics that of the websites layout and thus having a very similar meaning where the orange accent is to give that neon electro look to give a unique look to it. In certain ways it can be said that it is to show a little mention to the outgoing spirit within the songs of the album. The abstract patterns are to stylize the cover but also it can be said that it is to bring that subtle tone to the cover as having a solid colour for each circle may look too aggressive. The stylized fonts of the text also brings that modernized style to the overall looks of the album as the straight font with minimal style mimics that of many electro music covers.
This is Fun. latest album called some nights. The genre of the music between Twenty One Pilots is very similar to that of Fun. however the album cover seems to significantly differ with each other. While Blurry Face has no exact image but just an abstract pattern in it's front cover Some Nights has an image with a beige background layout with a sepia filtered image to give that retro/classy look. The font of the name of the album is in big bold letters like that of a diner in the US to link it to that retro/classy look of the album. The basis of the album is very different to that of Blurry Face as Some Nights seems to have that somber image. The overall style and look of the album cover reminds me that of a old Californian suburban style sort of imagery with that old classy look however the image in the album cover seems a little too negative to fit in with the vibe but that is where the classy look comes into play. The overall look of it also looks like that of a Polaroid style image if it is flipped upside down. the image seems like a candid shot of two people. It sort of represents that of adult way of fun. where the guy looks like he is taking drugs.
This is New Politics latest album called Vikings. In this album the overall feel has that vignette old scenery style look. One thing that it shares in common with Blurry Face's cover is that it has an accent colour that contrast with the overall look of the album to give it a more defining stylized look. The accent colour is red and it is used on the flag hanging sown from the bridge. the reason for using the contrast in colour is to make it look defining and this can mean that they are representing something by doing so and this may mean that they are representing their identity. The font has a straight look to it but other than that their is nothing much else to it and thus keeping it minimal. This helps keeping the vibe feel a bit classy or old. However one of the most defining part of the whole album is the symbol on top of the album cover. Because of that the whole album's cover vibe can be changed into something more anarchic. The fact that the symbol is integrated well into the scenery makes it much more convincing as the colour scheme is the same and instead of having a classy look with the vignette effect it can be mistaken with something more anarchic like that of a punk rock -esque feel to it.
