De Staat - I_CON album cover

 

 

The cover for I_CON from De Staat features no photographs but has a large patterned design instead. The colours are very bright and bold and this would draw the audience towards the album as it sticks out so much. The pattern is an aztec style design, this doesnt really relate to the album or follow the genre of the band. The name of the album and band are in quite a small font right at the top of the cover. the audience wouldn't really be drawn to the title and instead most of the focus would be on the main pattern of the album cover. This album cover does not follow a similar style to their other album covers, which do follow a similar style to each other.

These two covers both have a simple, single colour background with the title very clear and in the centre of the cover. They also both feature a single image in the middle of the cover. The cover for I_CON is very different to these two covers which may suggest that the band wanted to try something different for their latest album, something that would stand out more and draw the audience towards the album.
