The name of the band stands out
in white against a dark background
The two main characters are on
the front [Christian and Gloria]
The only colour used on the
front of the CD cover is that of
the wall and the name of the
album, the rest is in black and
white
The same font and colour have been used for the artist’s name and
album name
The artist and album name are against a dark background. This makes the writing easy to read and is also like the black background on the front
of the album
The font is the same on all sides of the
album
The track list: separated into 3 different acts, could be meaning
different chapters to do with Christian & Gloria?
