This is the cover for The Streets' fifth and final album, Computers and Blues. It features the band logo in the top left hand corner of The Streets lighter, along with the album name above. This is a quite unique way of conveying the information needed without taking up the whole cover. There is some disjuncture in the way that the image does not relate to the title much, however this tends to be quite common with album artwork. The use of the two red lights turned on are fairly effective as they create interest in the image, without that it would just be a standard image of a building. The darkness in all the other windows draws the majority of attention to both the top left corner and the central area, which are the most important areas due to the album name and what appears to be the artist Mike Skinner in the window. This is not clear at first but when closer attention is paid to the image it becomes more apparent. The use of the colour red contradicts the album title with the word 'Blues' however this doesn't seem to draw away from the cover being effective.
