Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) 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. 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.

Article

Ahmed Emad Eldin

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?

The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.

Purpose of use

This is a historic album cover: it departs from the artists tradition of using Storm Thorgerson's artwork on Pink Floyd album covers (with few exceptions). It is the cover to Pink Floyd's first studio album in 20 years and is the artwork that launched Ahmed Emad Eldin to prominence. It was designed by Ahmed Emad Eldin, and is used in the article on Eldin as an example of his style and work as well as to show the artwork that made Eldin a prominent artist. The fame and impact of the cover, as well as details of its design, are explicitly discussed in the article, and these issues would be difficult to understand without the visual representation of the cover..

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. 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. Using a different image would be misleading as to the identity of the work.
