album cover analysis 5#; Colplay, Viva la Vida.

It is interesting to see the similarities between Indie Rock and Alternative rock in regard to album-art. From my research so far i have discovered that Indie Rock tends to portray their genre as abstract and as it has it in its name 'indie'. Similarly, Coldplay have also adapted such an approach even though they go down under the genre of Alternative Rock.


The most outstanding thing of this cover is the font. It's eye-catching, contrasts with the dull colors in the background and manages to highlight the tone of the band through its messy/angry way of presentation. By looking rushed and handwritten, it exhibits the message of the painting - French Revolution - as well as foreshadowing to its experimental audience the song awaiting them - a rebellious melody.
