This is the album cover for N.E.R.D's Seeing Sounds. What I find particularly effective about this image, is the use of the rule of thirds. The cover is quite clearly split into three sections, with the text being the middle section, the band being the lower section and the gorilla's face being the top section. This means all three areas, although some overlaying, all appear seperate and the attention is drawn to them differently. Although the picture is quite abstract the image as a whole still works well in my opinion, the text does not look out of place and the editing of the animal is effective at making the cover look interesting. Although this kind of work would be very hard to recreate, I still want to take inspiration from the use of thirds as this is a good example of it working well.
