The Norah Jones Album Digipak has a running theme throughout: dogs. This idea is used on the front and back with the same colour and font which contributes to the continuity. There is little writing which makes the writing there stand out. The unusual font fits with the unusual scene which portrays the artist as quite up-market and elegant.
The artwork for the Black Keys' album 'El Camino' is also very simple. The title relates to the recurring image of an El Camino car. This relates to the vehicle the band used to tour in their earlier days - it does not relate to the music they produce which is very much blues rock. I like the idea of using the same type of image but altering it each time.
These examples of successful album artwork show that it does not need to feature a completely different image each time. Having a running theme while keeping it simple is much more attractive.
