I like symmetry, the problem with it is it can be very hard to pull off correctly. When done right though, the effect is quite epic. Take for example Blood Sugar Sex Magik by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. This album somehow pulls off this excellent symmetrical appearance without being exactly symmetrical. The faces of course will all be slightly different because they are all faces of the band members. The black and white helps to combat this though. Their tongues are all the same graphic representation and snakes around each other into a pattern. The album title and the name of the band both happen to be four words set at the same location on each part of the page. The flowers are the same in the opposing corners and the one in the middle is a nice "mix" of the two types of flowers. the splash of red gives the piece the extra oomph it needs. Them vs. You vs. Me by Finger Eleven is something completely different. The color scheme for this was well planned and the textured background offsets with silhouettes of the band quite nicely. The most striking thing about this cover however is the different directions the band members are looking. It ties in nicely with the title of the album.
