The self-titled album lettering is located at the very

bottom of the graphic picture; each word has a black

box around it as if they were cut out of a magazine.
This is done to enforce the idea of anonymity and
rebellion. The strong contrast between the black and
white of these words helps them to pop out from the
monotone background and draw attention.
The highlighted
red box isnt part
of the artwork,
but it was the
only image I
could find.
The monotone theme of
the front and the back
covers straight away give
a strong indication of
anarchy and death.
The photo of the monk set on fire in protest is
initially very striking for the audience. It makes a
statement that gives the audience an idea of the
intensions behind the album. The shot is made
even more dramatic by the black and white tones
used to exaggerate the high and lowlights.
The background photograph is the same as the front; accept its
a different cropped section of the original photograph. Again
this keeps the theme and feeling of the album consistent. The
image itself shows a large white bottle full of liquid, which
suggests that this is the substance that was used to ignite the
monk. This connotes to the audience that even peace will be
brought to extremes in order to fight for whats right.
The track list is again in the same writing and black
boxes as the front cover. This keeps a clear theme and
suggests that the band is still trying to be anonymous.
They are located in the top left corner and of the
cover, bunched together in the same way as the front
cover to leave room for the image in the background.
The negative
space to the
right of the
cover helps
to focus the
audience on
the image
and the
history
behind the
photograph.
The rule of
thirds is
used with
the monk
positioned
to the left
of the
centre,
whilst the
roaring fire
engulfs the
rest of the
cover.
