1. DIGIPAK ANALYSIS
Snow Patrol’s ‘Final Straw’ album is similar to the
Parachutes album in that it’s also simplistic and the use
the warm orange glow created by the sun creates a
warm feel to the cover. The background image in a
photograph which looks to be of a field with the sun
setting over a row of trees. The orange flare effect
caused by the sun can be seen to fill most of the cover.
Then there is some artwork that looks to be the main
focus of the cover due to it being placed centrally.
The back of the album cover takes the idea of the
flare coming from the sun. We can then see the
track list which is in the same fonts as the text on
the front which also shows the link between the
two. In general, the back of the cover is fairly
simplistic, much like the front cover. This could have
been done to make the cover more visually
pleasing with not too much text to read.
