Album cover of Walk Off The Earth’s R.E.V.O.

In terms of artistic style, Walk Off The Earth loves to do things a bit differently in the current times. The piece itself makes good use of the negative space by inserting lyrics from the various songs included. This is done so by making them appear washed out on an old piece of paper. Doing so distinguishes the main figure in the band’s name as well as the album title from the rest of the elements. This is turn creates a frame as there is a bit of “wash” that surrounds that specific text. Doing so helps establish a stable figure/ground relationship as the text being a bit more recent in appearance than that of the old washed out text.

The piece is symmetrically balanced because of the  placement of elements and the relative neutrality of the background. However there is not much tension seeing as how the background elements blend in better with the fading of the text.

Cropping is important as well as while the image appears to be focused on the center piece rather than the random jargon located elsewhere. Immediately. the piece attempts to bring your attention to center, literally and figuratively, in order to bring notice to the “important” aspect of the album itself.
