Broadcast The Secret Verse is the latest album of the UK-based artist Chris Cleverley. Chris is known for his ambient Dream-Folk that transcends the known limits of acoustic-led music in the 21st century. The cover for his latest release was designed by Design and i, imaginatively combining cool colors (using color psychology) with the soothing watercolor art style, providing a sense of “calmness in an open storm.”

The cover combines the watercolor art style depicting the cloudy, rainy sky that takes up most of the space with acrylic-like art used to portray small, faceless figures on a ridge. The blurry sky depiction tells a tale of life’s significant uncertainties, vastly greater than the size of the people on the ridge, that appears clear and detailed.

This cover design is reminiscent of a different, modern perspective of the famous Romantic painting “Wanderer above the Sea of Fog.” The setting is similar, but the roles of nature and people are reversed, commenting on the contemporary views of life. Check out the article on the best singles’ cover designs.
