Album Analysis

 
Looking at our chosen artist Galantis’s album cover, it’s very simple yet effective. They have their immediately recognisable animal taking up most of the frame with then a natural colour palette for the background, that still being with the theme of nature. Without even looking at the name, due to their ‘logo’ almost,  being in the centre the audience know straight away who’s album they are looking at. Their font is clever by having the artists name in bold with then the name being written in italic, this is where we took inspiration from when choosing the font for our video. This further highlights the artist.

Although it may seem that random scenes have been put together, there is a meaning behind our video, that being love, friendship and freedom which people may not initially see.
