The cover is a graphic made on a computer it is gray and looks as though it is falling apart or blowing away. You can see this by how the designer has done this as he has lines and things that I can only describe as stalactites in a cave, this adds the impression that the figure is ether; moving forward at high speed, has been lying on its back for a long time or has been blown with high winds. Graphic has been made to look like a human with the top half of his head missing. The title of the Cd is on the left hand side of the cover and runs vertically down the cover, the album name “a rush of blood to the head” is a pale grey. The band name “coldplay” is in a much darker black than the colour of the album name.
