Imran Khan album, Artefact



This is the cover of Imran khan album Unforgettable.
Source: The cover art can or could be obtained from the record label.
Article: Unforgettable (Imran Khan album)
Protion used: The entire cover: because the image is cover art, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution: The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Purpose of use: Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone.The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for.Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the artist's providing graphic design services to music concerns and in turn marketing music to the public.
Replaceable: As musical cover art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the music would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
Imran khan is a Pakistani he is bron in panjab and he is a panjabi singer from the Hague in Holland.
He lunched his latest album in 2009 which released in the UK and his album name is "Unforgettable". He start his career when he was twenty.
The CD cover features the singer Imran Khan with the title of the album 'Unforgettable' It looks like the protrail photograph of the singer has been sliced into 9 sections and put together to form one image. this allows to us see him at different angles mostly side shots of his face. His eyes are obsured by dark glasses. the background is black but the main image is slightly obscured with an oval and square shape which has writing in the middle but we cannot see what the writing says. White, red and blue are the main colours. The name of the singer is in white which makes it stand out and it is in block writing. The title of the album is also written in white but in thinner font.
I like the album cover because it is quite colourful and different to anything I've seen before. I think it is clever how his photograph is insections so that we see him from different angles. I think this cover would appeal to young peole because it looks modern. The album cover identifies the product well.
