The first noticable thing about this album cover is that, in a sense, it relates to the album name. "To The Sea" creates an idea of serenity, mainly through the idea of the ocean, and this is related in the both the album front and cover in which blue is the predominate colour. This idea of relating the album design scheme to the album name interests me as it sets an entire theme for the album, artist and music - binding them all together to create an entire theme. I may use this idea in my album making; finding some way to link all three musical aspects together. On both the front and back cover, the artist appears in a medium to medium long shot, but looks comfortable and relaxed (not posed) thereby giving a realistic nature to the shot, making the album feel more personal to the audience. The artists name and album name are in line with one another, linking the artist and the album together and they correlate with the black/white title colour contrast. Whilst the contents is not numbered, it is listed chronologically and so in a sense, the numbers are not needed. Once again, the technicialities and minor details are placed on the bottom of the back cover (probably because they are the least interesting aspect of any album cover).
