The wombats album artwork

When analysing The Wombats album artwork, we see something different in comparison to those already analysed. Firstly, it is evident to see contrasts in the typography. The type face is similarly in a sans-serif font, being capitalised however, this small in comparison to the overall text to image ratio. Again, this has been aligned central as the name of both the album and the band are the most important pieces of information on the album. The typography further illustrates the name of the album, 'The Modern Glitch' as a sans-serif font can be considered both informal and contemporary. Likewise, to the albums by Indie Pop band, Scouting For Girls, a natural landscape has been included within the artwork as a backdrop. The central arrangement however, has a concept-based feeling. Here, a group of people are seen to be holding images in front of their faces, identifiably picturing a lounging seat but then an unknown object above. I feel that this has no relevance to the band or indeed, the Indie Pop genre however, this could relate to the modernity of the album, suggesting that society are covering their true identities.

Another album by The Wombats is called, 'A Guide To Love, Loss & Desperation'. The album artwork,  opposes that of the above however, still applies visuals of a concept-based nature. Nevertheless the audience may be able to relate to what is pictured on the front of the album, interlinking with the everyday appearance of the band. The artwork for this, follows the rule of three composition with the cover being split into three horizontally. When looking more closely at the items on display, you are able to see various labels saying 'POP'. This therefore links to the genre of the bands music, as The Wombats are Indie Pop artists. The typography of 'The Wombats' has however stayed consistent between albums, acting as a known attribute of The Wombats. The typography additionally adds a sense of synthetic personalisation to the album cover as the text looks almost handwritten.
