Justifying no Text on The Album Cover

With our album cover we decided that it would be best suited if we chose to not have any text on the front cover. The reason for this is because I feel as though it helps keep the artistic value of the image and having text covering the album may restrict the artistic merit of the image we have created. Moreover it is not a direct convention of alternative rock music however examples of albums which do not have any text printed on the front cover can clearly be seen. One of the most famous examples would be Pink Floyd's Dark Side of The Moon. In this album cover there is no text whatsoever, instead the image of a prism along with a rainbow type feature coming out of it is just seen. This keeps the artistic merit of the image which is the same concept we are attempting to have within our album cover. By having this example we can justify that alternative rock can sometimes put artistic merit over what is potentially more marketable by having text.
