Understanding Design Principles

Balance/Contrast

The album cover has bight vibrant color and shine to grab your attention.
The album cover has a dominant slash through the center with bright color to display the album title and the background noise on either side that balances the overall view of the cover..
The name of the band, ACDC is the same color as the background so it blends without upsetting the balance but in block letters to stand out at the same time.


Rhythm/Repetition (Movement/Pattern)

The razors edge is displayed with actual edges that look like razors and the background color appears as if it was cut with a razor revealing the bright red color
The background color seems to be darker along the edges with the illusion of light shining on the middle of the cover causing the "razor" letters to shine.
The background color is slashed open and folding over on both sides which balances the cover.


Emphasis/Alignment
The text in the top middle is large and in block style lettering to display the band name. It also shines in spots to draw attention.
The text in the middle is slightly smaller but also in block style capital letters that are made to look like they are razors with the light reflecting off of them.
The text looks as if it is cutting out of the background making it look multidimensional.


Unity/Proximity (Unity/Proportion)
This album uses only two different fonts.
The cover uses only two colours, red and gray/blue
