Portugal. The Man is a band from Portland, Oregon that started playing together in high school while they lived in Alaska. Their first studio album, Waiter, You Vultures, was released in 2006. This was the first time I heard them. Immediately, I like their sound. I thought it was unique and different.
The album art is colorful and graphic, full of vibrancy. The illustrative touches really bring interest to the work and the contrast against the white really sets a nice tone. The hand lettering is a cool touch as well.

The cover of Brand New’s album, Deja Entendu, is surely a colorful one. It consists of rich, saturated hues that are intensely darkened around the edges, allowing the center image to really pop. I really like the contrast and use of shadows as well.
This album has always been a favorite of mine and brings me back to my senior year of college when it got a lot of plays on my iPod. There are some songs I must of listened to a hundred times. The cover definitely got my attention but the music backed it up for sure. The color palette would be a good inspiration for a kids room or party, colorful and lively.

Cloudkicker’s album, Be Huge, is a dreamy cascade of pastels only Mother Nature can create. With beachy tones and a laid back feel, this palette is perfect for any space in your home and a great inspiration for a wedding.
