Distaw

Inside the image.

A square album cover combines a silhouetted figure and an open landscape beneath a large, pale sky. The horizon runs across the lower middle of the image. A lone person stands in the left foreground, shown in profile facing right. The figure is nearly black with a deep blue-violet cast, and appears to wear a long, flowing garment and a light patch of fabric over one shoulder. Their head and upper body are distinct against the bright sky; the lower garment merges into the dark foreground and is cut off by the bottom edge.

The land is a broad, flat expanse of dark purplish-blue grass or heath, with faint horizontal bands suggesting distant fields. A small, dark bush or tree sits near the horizon just right of centre; farther right, a low dark form is partly obscured by the lower edge. Above it, the sky occupies most of the cover. It shifts from a pale, almost white band at the horizon to cool grey-lilac clouds and haze, then to a warm red-orange strip along the top. The image has a soft, slightly blurred photographic appearance, with subdued contrast in the sky and deeper shadows across the land.

The upper-right corner carries the lettering. “siân james” appears in large, ornate lowercase lettering, with a small circumflex over the “a”; the letters are golden yellow with a dark outline and slight shadow. Directly beneath, “DISTAW” is set in uppercase red letters inside a narrow gold-edged rectangular panel. The two lines are right-aligned and sit over the red area of the sky, separated from the landscape by ample open sky. There is no visible border.
