My first reaction to this work was that it holds something inside thats concealed and confidential. It made me feel like it was more than just a album case and the music would be based on Rock and Roll. The reason for this is that the red, green and black and quite dark colours, the red usually symbolises danger and the black symbolises darkness, the green is a positive colour but is over powered in this situation.
The artist is called Jessamine Houdini and the genre of music she creates is Rock music. The target audience for this would be teenagers who are into rock maybe goths etc. The type of people that listen to rock music would be people who like loud head banging music. The imagery and text on the album cover relate to the music because the imagery and colours used are quite dark and gloomy which reflects rock music.
Jessamine Houdini refers to the famous magician Houdini by making the album look mysterious and also some elements of magic tricks from the lock on the side, this could represent that the contents inside need to be secured. The work is very successful in getting that message across as its the first thing that came into my head. Personally I like this artwork a lot because of the creativity and reference to the magician Houdini, I don't like rock music but I do like this album packaging.
