Album Art Analysis #2


Album Art Analysis: Gorrilaz - Demon Days

This album art from the Gorrilaz is much different to Ariana's album that I had previously looked at. This one does not have any pictures of the actual artists but instead cartoon representations of them. This is quite enigmatic as they make no intimate connection with the audience but we do with the made up characters that represent each band member. The album is separated into four sections with each character taking up a quarter. The white text and backgrounds contrast the overall dark blue to make them stand out on the cover. The cartoon characters also have separate colour pallet that makes them unique. These colours are quite dull and faded, this could be significant as it fits the rock genre of the album or "dark pop" as it is known by the band.
