Puzzle-Biffy Clyro

The simplicity of this album, with the complex underlying meaning is something very signifcant. The colours are very neutral, with the colours being all shades of brown. As the colour brown represents wholesomeness and earthiness. While it might be considered a little on the dull side, it also represents steadfastness, simplicity, friendliness, dependability, and health. Although blue is the typical corporate color, UPS (United Parcel Service) has built their business around the dependability associated with brown. We see this blue stand out at the back, with the light and the only escape route we can see. With the color brown and its lighter cousins in tan, beige, and cream create the excellent backgrounds helping accompanying colors appear richer, brighter. Therefore allowing the door to stand out from just the small small. The use brown of to convey a feeling of warmth, honesty, and wholesomeness is ironicly used here with the puzzle peice showing the man falling apart and the isolation. We can the people in the beck near the light in black clothing symobolisng death or assoiating, brown is more of a casual colour than black an this is why the peice stand otu so much as we look into the man we see the isolation portrayed though the colours. 
With the simpictic wrtiitng being in the conventional place of the top left courner we are drawn to the man a signicant amount, with the man being without clothes it shows his vunerability, but can symbolise trust and honesty(new born).
