The album cover has a general vintage feel to it. This
is a result of the colours used and the clothing that Vance Joy is wearing.
The colours used on the album seem to be
washed out, creating the vintage feel because when something gets old, the
colours begin to fade. This helps connote that Vance Joy is a more indie artist
as it contrasts with the vibrant colours that are often used on pop albums.
Joy is clearly wearing unconventional
clothing that doesn’t really fit in with mainstream fashion of the 21st
century. This connotes that he is an indie artist as his fashion sense is more
alternative.
The natural
colouring also highlights that Vance Joy is a natural, and therefore organic
artist.
The predominant image on the album is the long shot of
Vance Joy which is place in the centre
of the cover. This draws the audiences attention to him, creating a focus point
for them.
The fact that you can’t see his face
clearly due to the rip and the fact that part of it looks covered connotes that
he doesn’t want to sell him album based on his looks, but rather the music he
produces. This links to the star image of an organic, indie artist.
The font used for Vance Joy’s name almost looks like it
could’ve been handwritten. This signifies that Joy is an organic artist as he
is using images that look natural. The font used for the album name it very
simple and very small. This connotes that again, Vance Joy doesn’t want his
music to sell based on how the cover looks, rather what the actual music sounds
like, signifying that he is an organic artist.
