Dilyn Y Graen

Inside the image.

A square album cover combines a stark monochrome close-up portrait with a small area of purple clothing and lettering. A light-skinned man fills most of the left and centre of the frame, his head turned slightly towards the viewer’s left and his gaze lowered. His face is tightly cropped at the crown and shoulders; short, tousled hair catches the light, while deep shadows define his eyes, nose, beard and neck. His mouth is open slightly. The high-contrast black-and-white photograph leaves the background almost entirely black, creating a large dark area around the right side of his head and above the lettering.

A metal microphone enters from the lower left, angled towards his mouth. Its rounded rectangular grille is brightly lit, with a fine mesh pattern and a dark edge. Around his neck are large headphones: a curved band and one ear cup lie across his chest, with a cable or narrow component visible near the right shoulder. The lower-right portion of the cover shows a purple collared garment, its folds and small buttons faintly visible. The restrained colour accent stands out against the otherwise black, white and grey image.

The title sits over the dark space at right, roughly level with the man’s lower face. “endaf emlyn” appears in lowercase purple lettering, with thin, slightly irregular serif-like strokes. Directly beneath it, “DILYN Y GRAEN” is set in much larger white uppercase sans-serif letters, tightly spaced and bold. The two lines are right of the portrait and above the purple shoulder, aligned around the same central area. The image is photographic, with hard directional lighting and pronounced shadow; no border is visible.
