Questions about album artwork

QUESTIONS FOR DIFFERENT ALBUM COVERS:

Part 1:

1Do you think the album work is for a band or artist. And why?

2Do you think they are synthetic or organic?

3What kind of music/genre is it and why? 

4What do you think overall about the artwork?

Part 2: 

1If you could ask the designer any questions about their choice of art work what would it be?

PART 1
1. I think the album work is for a band because the woman on the front of the album could represent something the whole album is trying to convey and is in contrast with the fact that its not all about her being an individual artist but representing a deeper meaning.
2. I think they are organic because they are not being constructed as a fake image but they are being sold as themselves and you get this idea through the simple figure of a woman which comes across as very realistic.
3. I think its rock because of the deep red used on the album cover which gives connotations of strong feelings that immediately intrigue and stand out to the audience as i think rock music is very emotional in some aspects.
4. Overall i think the art work is simple yet effective as the deep red works well with the illustrated figure of the woman putting lipstick on which gives connotation of love and femininity and link together   that could possibly show the audience the main themes that run through there songs. I think it is intriguing and interesting also as it has something different and attractive.
PART 2

What were the decisions behind animation and simplistic text? 

What was your intention to use a female on the front? Who is she?

1. I think the album is for a band because the art work is very specific i think that shows there is lots of deeper meaning behind it and i don't think a single artist would want to hold lots of possible meanings that aren't totally specific.
2. I think they are organic because there is no constructed image i think they are selling what they are selling for who they are with meanings behind the art work that the audience can chose how they interpret it eg the child could be everything or nothing to do with the band or music.
3.  I think it is rock because the child is hiding behind a cover  on the front that could convey that he is scared and as rock music is loud and intense that could be the band portraying there music isnt for children.
4. Overall i think the art work is very effective as the audience notice all the details and really intrigues as there are lots of different things it could mean eg the child is hiding because he is scared, the child has something to do with the music, the child represents the music industry as a whole and they are hiding themselves or are we all that child and everyone is hiding something. I particularly like the over exposure of light on his face like someone has opened the door and i think the audience can relate to being a child and being scared.
PART 2
Were you not worried about isolating your audience for using such a creepy picture?

Who is the  child supposed to be looking at?

1.I think the album is being represented as an album for a band because there are 3 children on the front and this could represent community within a band and because of the broad landscape in the background, if it was a solo artist i dont think it would be specific enough to intrigue an audience but for a band it shows range. 
2. I think they are organic because again it is showing an idea or a theme that can be interpreted in different ways for the art work there is no specific constructed image for the audience that appears fske it is genuine and believable.
3. I think the theme of nature of the background with the sky,clouds, 'a day in july'  and mountains creates a classical theme for the music.
4. Overall i think the album artwork suits the idea of the song and the children looking in to the far distance could relate to how we feel when overcoming big goals or what the band are facing in the music industry as it is so broad and i think this intrigues the audience in a relatable way with such a philosophical theme.
