The Killers album with very different, it's very bright and colourful. They've taken a photo and edited it on Photoshop into looking like it's just dots and different colours to make the photo again, but in a different style instead of it just being a photo. 

Even though they've made the photo and the text the same by the dots, they've still made the writing stand out.

For the colour they've pick rather dark colours for most of the album, even though some things stand out more than others, some of the colours are still darker. They've made the colours merge together which works really well for this album cover. 

There isn't really much layout on the album cover, except from the Text, they couldn't of put the text any other way, because if they did it would be covering the design of the album. 

Even though the album is called 'Day & Age' the album cover looks like it's been designed to show night instead of day. The cover looks like it's based in a different country or in a different age of time. 

The frame is based in the centre of the photo, like if you try and think of anything that they could've added on the sides of the album, there wouldn't be much, because the text in centred so there isn't any point of having anything else around it.
