| Article | |
| Portion used |
The entire cover: because the image is cover art, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image. |
| Low resolution? |
yes |
| Purpose of use |
Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. Commentary in the article about the cover art itself: Photo of Branigan is by noted fashion photographer Harry Langdon. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the artist's providing graphic design services to music concerns and in turn marketing music to the public. |
| Replaceable? |
As musical cover art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the music would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. This is a photograph of the packaging for a product, not the product itself. The picture cover from an album or single gives insight into the manner in which the product (in this case a single record) was marketed at the time of its release. The picture identifies the subject of the article with both the physical object of the single in question as well as the image of the performer as they appeared at the time of that single's release. As such, there is no other image more appropriate to illustrate this portion of the article. |
