For LCD Soundsystem's album "This Is Happening" it is all kept fairly simple. There is a basic image of James Murphy, the creator of LCD Soundsytem, in motion, as if he was dancing on stage. He is dressed in a trademark suit and the photo has been rotated. The shot will have been taken as a mid shot of Murphy , from a fairly long distance as his arms are spread.
The layout is simplistic, with a large image in the top two thirds with the information about the album in the bottom third. The colour scheme is quite understated, with a black and white photo/background with a blue font.
The typography is in italics and all in capitals. The font is basic and there is large spaces between letters. Overall The design is made to look a bit blurred and this fits in with their sort of electronic music. I do quite like the idea of using just one image on my band poster/digipak, as it looks quite effective.
