This is my digipak analysis for my Media A-Level Coursework

1. DIGIPAK ANALYSIS:
TWENTY ONE PILOTS
BLURRYFACE
BY TEGAN HARRIS

2. WHOLE ALBUM COVER:

3. FRONT COVER: Plain black background
creates darker imagery and
draws more focus to the rest
of the album artwork
Well known name
logo with a light
through the letters
“o”
Title of album small
with iconic line
straight through it
Individual art pieces
perhaps representing
individual songs but is
very open to
interpretationFont is small and plain
so is a secondary
image within the
artwork Red only colour other than
black and white so could
represent passion, anger,
love etc.

4. INSIDE FRONT COVER:
Copyrighted and
shows record label
Chaotic version of the
front cover artwork
Gives a glitchy look to the
original artwork which could
connote a more
antiauthoritarian star image
Warner Music
Group Company

5. INSIDE BACK/CD COVER:
Iconic lines for the artist
3 main album cover
colours on CD
Artist name very small
and almost irrelevant
on the CD itself
Title of album small but of the
same font and design as front
cover

6. BACK COVER:
Iconic lines through the letters
“o” on all song titles with that
letter but presented as
decorative artwork element
Barcode for physical purchase but due to
the black and white colour, it still correlates
with the rest of the album artwork
Website links to record
label and artist
encourage repeat
consumption
Artist name
and album title
Artist’s logos/symbols for
recognisability and repeat
consumption
Copyright information made
clear as a paragraph text but
separated from the key
information the consumer
required i.e. the song titles
3 colours kept throughout

7. OVERALL:
• Organic in image with the artist unseen but contains elements that encourage
synthetic, repeat consumption
• Copyrighting made very clear throughout
• Iconic items and logos for the artist added throughout which could be considered
purposeful or subliminal
• Plain colour scheme draws attention to brighter colour of red which makes it an
attractive album artwork to look at
• As with many of their other album artworks, the meaning is open to interpretation
which encourages repeat consumption and fascination from the audience
