Keane – strange landThe main cover of this album shows empty land with two buildings in the near distance. There is a link to the title of the album in a couple of ways here, one is that the buildings are stuck in the middle of know here and the buildings look to modern for the land. The other key point about the buildings is that they are separate. So at first glance the picture does look strange and there are something not quite right. There is a big contrast between the blue clear sky and the red stone or rocky floor. Another point to pick out is what looks to be blue glass or a reflection of blue in the windows on the buildings. In-between the buildings there is what looks to be a light shining and it is on in what looks to be the day time, also what feels strange is that with the buildings being in the middle of know where it asks the question where does the power come from and how does it get there. Obviously there are bigger questions like who works here and what is the place for. So as the title suggests there is a definite link between strange land and the image on the album cover.

The font and text on this album cover stand out well. The keane heading is suppose to stand out and have the most impact on the cover and the font is there official logo font so it is the same as all other keane products and advertisements. Also the white text stand out against the dark blue. The strange land title text looks to be a sort of a underlining for the band name and the yellow represents a different heading within the album cover.

This is the cd for the keane strange land album.It uses the same picture as the front cover and also has the title and band name in roughly the same position but because of the disc hole in the middle they have moved up the text. Due to the size of a disc in comparison to the cover picture the image has had its sides cut off, in doing so the focus of the picture is very much so on the two buildings and this brick or stone wall that is coming down from the two buildings.The image appears to be darker which might be to show that there is no change with in the buildings or to show that there is no change in the personality of the buildings. The buildings look the same as each other so there could be a possibility that they represent two different paths each looks hopeful and promising but only one leads to where you want to go.

Some of the the band members believe that this album is a very emotional one that talks about setting off on a path and going a certain way but realizing that life can some times take certain unexpected turns that can change or delay your journey. And I believe that deep down this picture does show that there are two choices and two different roads in life.

This is the back of the keane album, and this is totally different to the other image that they have gone for. This picture shows peacefulness by the smooth ocean that can be seen right up to the horizon which gives a interesting picture.The picture is most definitely dominated my the two lamp posts that stand on a beach front. What gives the posts the power that they hold in the photo is the fact that they are on and they are bright. To pick out the similarities between the two keane photos in this album is that there are two buildings and in this shot two lights that keep the suspicion that they could represent different ways or paths in life. The reason that one lamp could be bigger than the other could suggest that one of the paths in life always stands out more or is more favorable to someone and there is a slight focus change between the to lamps that could suggest that a path has been picked or that sometimes the decision is made for you.

The font and text of the songs that are on the album is small and is not that well stud out from the deep grey clouds that have filled the sky over this beach or sea front.The font color suggest peace but the grey clouds suggest otherwise
