Of Monsters and Men's "Beneath the Skin"

Image result for beneath the skin album




I chose this album cover mostly because of its simplicity. The shapes are abstract forms of the band's initials, but what I find more interesting is the textures contained within them. I think the textures in the shapes, particularly the ones on the left (the circle and the triangle), have nice movement within them because of the leading lines. Another thing I find interesting is the balance of the album cover as a whole. The shapes on the left are darker than those on the left, which contain more white. However, the cover still seems pretty balanced and I think that's probably because of the few dark spots in the left shapes and the few white spots in the right shapes--those small additions help make the album cover a whole. I also like that the two "M's" don't have the same texture on the inside, which I think is a subtle way of making the cover more visually complex.
