I chose the album cover of Madonna’s greatest hits CD Celebration primarily because it's so visually striking. The bold colors just blobbed onto the 'canvas' give off a pop art effect that resemble the classic American image that many associate with the pop queen. The cover is a mixture of maturity and impudence - the audacity of the different - which is what pop art is about. The image of Madonna is almost like a cartoon - flat and comical (not in the funny sense). But it is also very dramatic. The colors (variations of the three primaries) contrast boldly and pop out. They serve to add dimension to the flat sketch, and also to grab the attention of a hopeful customer or Madonna fan. I found the cover striking and interesting, so in that effect the designer did his job.
