Specific Album Art Analysis #4

I decided to analyse One Republic's Album Cover. The album is called "Waking up". The first thing we visually see are the number of different colours. If you count them properly you come up with 5 different one. This actually links to the number of band members that One Republic consists of. So we can see that there is already some symbolism in case of the whole band. The colour might also represent each member of group by their character and what kind of person they are. As there is not a lot of green colour, we may assume that the band member who the colour is assigned to may be a bit shy etc. Another thing I came up with during analysing process is that the cover looks like a fountain which can relate to ideas or what might be happening in our head in the morning. I analysed this in that way, because of the title of the album which is "Waking up". So I assumed that the cover might represent what happens in our head when we wake up. The red colour of the font may represent that the "waking up" process is something that people might not like etc... The background is kept really simple which may also link to the simplicity of the band and the songs they are making. The front cover does not give away anything about the music inside. In other way, we can also interpret the fountain of colours by saying that they represent different kind of music styles put together on this album, but if we want to find out about that more we need to buy and listen to the album. So it is right to say that the album art work is appealing to wider audience.
