This is the third studio album by The Killers. The killers used to be Indie Rock but as they become very popular they decided to go mainstream and are now alternative rock.
The lettering is very simple and attractive this creates a calm and peacefulness; it is very easy on the eye. The name of the band is in a large font and created in an artistic manner; it is placed at the centre thus should be able to easily grab the target audience’s attention.
The cover was designed by Paul Normansell who claimed it represented the relationship between art and music. The image used is a mosaic and by using the mix of purple and white it sets a very relaxed mood (similar to the music). The image of the tropical landscape created with the use of the colours red, orange and gold gives a warm feeling. This suggests the music is likely to sound pleasant and pleasing rather than dark and heavy. The colours and layout are kept very simple; furthermore there aren’t images of any of the band members this could show the Killers want to be judged purely on their music and not their appearance. The Killers are trying to reach out to a wide audience with the images they have used, as generally more people tend to listen to calm and cheerful music.
