Analysis of artists first Album cover

 

Here we can see Sam Tompkins first album cover for his song 'On My Own' that released in 2017. The Album cover design is very basic with a silhouette of a house infant of a red background. The red background is a bright, blood red colour which makes it stand out. The contrast between the black and red works very well and connotes to sadness, anger and loneliness. This represents the genre and mood of the music and reflects the lyrics of the song (Sam sings about loneliness). The name of the album is the same as the song 'On My Own'. This is easy for the audience to remember and makes for good marketing because it is simple. The Album cover is a completely digital design and has no physical copy release. This is because this was Sam's first song and he didn't have a large budget to create an abstract and complex design or pay for manufacturing costs of the album itself. Due to the album being entirely digital, there is no legal information on the inside or back of the cover as well as a song list (mainly because it only has 1 song).
