Album cover: Claire Johnson stands in profile, and turns her head slightly toward the camera. Johnston wears a black gown by Elzbieta Rosenwerth, and her blond hair is cut short. She is lit from the front. Above her head the band's name appears in a white type; and the album title is in a red script. The matte background is of a blue sky with a few faint clouds.
