This album cover is extremely iconic and famous for its simplistic look. It features a black background which contrasts against the faces of the singers which are positioned in a diamond shape. Freddie Mercury is positioned at he front with the only member with his hands visible, this shows the audience that he is the main singer as the main focus is on him. Low saturation is used to make dark shadows and the colours mono-tonal therefore reflects the type of music on the album. The lettering is in white so that is stands out, yet is in the right hand corner which means the main focus is still on the band implying the album is all about them. Therefore showing the bands personalities is there key selling point as their faces are selling the album. 

This music video became iconic mostly for its simplicity. This therefore means that the CD cover is mysterious and gives no indication of the genre of music the album includes, this may convince an audience to buy the album as people become intrigued about what Queen's latest album has to offer.]]> 2017-08-01 19:35:48 UTC https://padlet.com/emilysh2000/alfk7n5amj36/wish/179883724
