Kid A was the album where Radiohead introduced their unique electronic sound. I thought they created an awesome album, filled with quirky and smart beats, freshly generated ambient tones, and soothing lyrics. Definitely one of my favorites from the band.

The album artwork fits well with its illustrative lines and painterly brushstrokes, all within a digital and sharp feel. A nice contrast if you ask me. The colors are mostly muted, blues and grays, with a pop of orange and red, along with a brighter blue on the mountains. Contrast and pop seem to be the main idea here. I feel that translated over to the music very well indeed.

I chose my favorites, the blue-grays. Soothing, rich, and peaceful, these hues can transform any space into a sweet haven of calm. Just my style.

I have always liked Jimmy Eat World. Their music is upbeat and catchy, and Jim Adkins voice is unique and beautiful. This particular album is one of my favorites because it just seems to move at such a positive pace. It has always gotten me up and ready to go.

The album cover is filled with my all time loved color, blue, so its no surprise I am attracted to it. I also like the vintage appeal of the photograph, with the old trophies and jukebox. The palette has a nice mix of soft solid hues and striking metallics, just enough retro style. I created two palettes because the colors can be combined in a few successful ways. Each palette would create a different feel in a space.

Show Your Bones is one of my favorite albums from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The vibe that resonates from the music is translated onto the album artwork with bright and cheery hues. The contrast between the purple and orange with the yellow create a nice landscape for small details like loose threading pop. And the texture as well as depth from shading add so much life. I also love the handmade feel of the design. This one is sure to grab your attention.
