This is an album cover which was illustrated by Craig Thompson called Friend and Foe. The first thing that came to my head when looking at this album cover was doodling. The images used in this piece are very random and graphic, it looks quite confusing but very amazing and interesting.
The technique used looks like it could of been hand drawn, each illustration is very defined, even though there is not much colour the album cover is still very eye catching and jumps out at you as soon as you look at it. I think that craig Thompson's idea was to make the front cover very defined and hectic so that the audience would see it and think that if the album cover is this exciting then the actual album must be even better. If you study the cover thoroughly you can see that the pink sections are the insides of different creatures and the smaller creatures all around them are in fact doing some sort of surgery on them. This all could represent the way the CD was created and the amount of work that went into it.
Personally I like this album cover a lot as it is quite random and you don't really know what to expect when listening the album that is inside. I think the illustrations are very graphic and busy which is a good technique as it gives the audience something to look and think about. Although there is hardly any colour used it is still quite eye catching, the colours that have been used are symbolic and represents the inside of the creatures and the eyes of the creatures.
