A Design I Like

One design that I like is the album cover to Bob Dylan’s Bringin it All Back Home. What I first noticed about this cover is the content of the photograph. The setting seems to take place in some kind of upper societal apartment which could represent class and prosperity, but the expressionless faces and a skewed items all around lead me to think that they are supposed to represent the disdain and dissatisfaction that some people experience when they become as famous as Bob Dylan had been at the time.
I also really like the way the camera seems to warp everything outside of that main circle. I feel that it adds to the chaos of the room’s clutter. Also the fallout shelter sign gives a very dystopian feel. One more thing about the photo in particular is that the tinted lighting gives a very dated feel to it, as if the events in this picture occurred a long time ago, but long ago in the sense that its far off from Bob Dylan’s present.
A final part that I like about the album cover is the contrast between the photo and the text. As I said the photo gives a very chaotic view of maybe the current times or of Bob Dylan’s life itself, but the text seems to give a very stark contrast. The text is very clean and seems to represent order and seems to me to really stand out against the disorderly photo. I feel like this is a very typical design of the 60’s where it mixes pretty standard fonts with an idea of chaos.
