This element of the image of the front cover for Disclosure's album is consistent throughout their albums and is a common unique feature to their work. This gives a sense of familiarity when the audience see Disclosure album covers and gives the electronic duo originality to their album artwork.

The reasoning behind the picture of the two little boys is fairly clear if you are a fan of this electronic duo. As the kids on the cover look fairly similar and are of the same age which indicates it is reminiscent of Disclosure as the band consists of the two brothers who make up Disclosure – G.Lawrence and H.Lawrence. However, through the use of this, the album front cover goes against Goodwin's theory as he said that there should be close ups of the band faces. Meaning this album cover doesn’t comply with his conventions. In terms of the styling of the children, you can tell from their clothes they are from an alternative upbringing. Most kids stereotypically would wear sports clothes and branded clothes, here the kids are wearing alternative clothing style which mimics the genre of the music the duo makes.

The masthead of the cd cover consists of the bands name “Disclosure” and the name of the album “Settle”. Through the use of black text colour for the bands name and the white font colour for the album name makes it easy for the audience to realise that the words are separate and mean different things. Also, these colours allow the text to stand out on the monochrome background and allows it to be eye-catching.

The colour pallet for this album artwork gives off a vibrant vibe. Through the use of this, it reflects the electronic dance music genre as it is exciting and fun.
