Chapters 7- 10

Album cover artwork for Circa Survive's Juturna album

  • Implied line An invisible line created by positioning a series of points so that the eye will connect them and thus create movement across the picture plane







Album Artwork for Muse's Showbiz Album

Abstract is usually the main characteristic when it comes to describing majority of Muse's album covers. The artwork usually lacks in displaying any sources of reality.

  • Abstraction: A visual representation that may have little resemblance to the real world. Abstraction can occur through a process of simplification or distortion in an attempt to communicate an essential aspect of a form or concept.





Silverstein's artwork for their album Discovering The Waterfront

  • Texture: The surface quality of objects that appeals to the tactile sense.

  • Overlapping A device for creating an illusion of depth in which some shapes are in front of and partially hide or obscure others.
  • Picture plane The two-dimensional surface on which shapes are organized into a composition.
  • Translucent A situation in which objects, forms, or planes transmit and diffuse light but have a degree of opacity that does not allow clear visibility through the form.
