Pink Floyd- Dark side of the moon
The colours that were used in this artwork were a white light/line and rainbow light/line on top of a black background while make the colours stand out more. The White light shining into a triangle/prism and coming out again to make a rainbow resembles the spectrum of light traveling through a prism, The things that the artwork represents to the album are that it relates to there song lyrics and resembles there stage lighting. The original artwork was created by Hipgnosis and George Hardie, The symbol used for this album art work is very unique because its very bold and simple and recognised by everyone.

Beatles - Abbey road
This photographic that was used for The Beatles 'Abbey Road' Artwork is very iconic, The colours are a bit dark and dull but natural.They've made everything in focus by using a f22 aperture, this allows us to see much more detail and find more meaning within this photograph. The photograph was taken on the street of Abbey Road in North London on a zebra crossing out side there music studio, which is meant to resemble them leaving that studio for the last time and not coming back as this was there last album they were doing together.

Rudimental - Not Giving in
In this photograph its shows the shanty towns in the philippines, this was where the music video for this song was filmed. The photograph shows in the foreground the run down poor shanty town and in the distance shows this big city towering above it, there have made the shanty town the focus point and the city blurred by using the depth of field to make it seem the its far away and seems big and powerful. its shows it as a point of view from the people who live here and want to become successful, also in the music video it tells the story of two boys, one boy gets caught up with the gangs and dangers of the shanty town whereas the other becomes successful in street dancing and is able to escape the shanty town and move to the city which the photo resembles.
