This album was created in April of 1992 in the United Kingdom by artist Andy Vella. This genre of music is considered alternative rock, and this specific album gained the most popularity from The Cure. The design on this album reflects the alternative and edgy style of the music from the choices of the illustrations and the typography chosen. The contrasting colors of dark blue and bright orange show a warm and beachy feeling, which also contrasts with the scratchy illustrations of eyes and hands drawn in black that indicate a more creepy vibe.
