For disclosure's 'Settle' album cover they used a mixed media image - a sourced photo of the band as children with the familiar scribble face drawing over the top.
This has become a recognisable feature of disclosure's album covers, they use this same design even for their collaborations with other artists, such as for the song 'Omen' with Sam smith, who is very recognisable as a celebrity, and therefore this adds to the novelty of his face being turned into a disclosure drawing.
Using a mixed media image is something that I am considering for my album cover, as it is more interesting than just using an image of the artist, but it also means that the artist is still there and therefore can become recognisable as an artist, especially for the teenage 'fangirl' market, who want to see images of the artist that they can pin up on their wall etc.
