Digipak Analysis


This album cover has very significant, clear and consistent theme throughout. The front and back cover have similar images on the background, however the front cover has a cartoon image of the artist standing in the middle of the road in a suburban street overlapping the images of pinkish clouds that are also on the back cover. The images are very soft and have a pale, mute colour palette that match the font style and colour. It gives a general feel about the songs and the artist as the soothing tones of the colours hint of what kind of music is in this album.

The font style is italic and reminiscent of script and calligraphy. The font on the back matches the font on the front perfectly except for its size. The mute pink colour of the font matched the colours of the album tying in with the soothing tones. However, the font and colour of the artist's name, it is smaller all caps and in white. This takes the attention away from the artist and brings all attention to the art. The names of the songs are in a bullet-point list form like many of other albums.

This album style keeps with the indie genre as it is simplistic, consistent throughout and has a cartoonish version of the artist instead of a real picture.
