Influential Album Covers

 The Queen is Dead (1986) - The Smiths
The Queen is dead reciprocates theme of the controversial album name with mystery in the cover and brings its target audience. The dark colours also represent The Smiths as they would often sing about more serious themes than other musicians of the time. The cover is taken directly from ''L'Insoumis'' which references 1960s movies as well shows their admiration for the cover star and genre of film. This album cover is shocking and sets the tone for the rest of the album, which has inspired us to make a digipak with related themes to the band image and the song it is selling.
