Album Cover Analysis 4 (Coldplay - A Head Full Of Dreams)


Everything about this groovy disco-experimental album is uplifting as well as dance worthy.
Imagery : The album cover for head full of dream's massively stands out straight away because of the vibrant bright colours, the colour pallet chosen for this album cover stands out like a sore thumb to the audience. It gives off the impression to the listener that the album is relaxed and laid back and is a joyful album to listen to that'll put the audience in a good mood when listening to it. 
A very key factor in the artwork is that the visual's come across as a kaleidoscope affect, this is vital because within the album there is a song called "kaleidoscope", this could just be a clever marketing tool, but it also benefits the album cover because it makes it look full of life. Also the art work is covered with planets and life form's mainly birds. This album is focused on life and the universe all seen within a parallel spectrum, hense the use of the  kaleidoscope affect with the cover work. 
When researching the art work for the album, the key thing I noticed is that people are saying that the artwork doesn't necessarily go anywhere it just represents the cheerful nature of life forms in the world. The artist of the artwork saw it as his vision of a parallel of life forms all in one singular biome. Hense as to why planets and birds are in the same section in the art work.
