Digipak analysis of Neon Jungle.

1. Neon Jungle – Welcome to
the jungle

2. The edgy dark text show of a bad
girl image.
Like most pop/ girl band
album covers the images
were taken in a studio
not on location. Giving
it a clear fresh vibe.
Stereotypically to pop style album covers the
star image is used showing off each member.
Eye contact from
each member is
used to give a
connection to the
audience.
The title of the album
is in simple block
capitals making it
easier to read. Its in
the same colour as the
band name but In a
different font making
the band name stand out
more.
The title of the
album ties the whole
thing together as it
is also the title of
one of the songs on
the album (this is
done a lot throughout
all genres of music)
and it uses the word
‘jungle’ which is also
in the girls band
name.
The style of which the girls are shown (a portrait image of
each girl placed together in a line fashion) has been used
in both a Destiny’s child album cover before and a Pussycat
dolls. It appears to be a popular lay out for girl band
album covers as it shows off each girl in a close up.
Each girl is tightly
framed showing off
their beauty and
individuality as no
girl is posed or
dressed the same. All
the girls have very
fierce looking eyes and
are pouting showing off
a sense of power and
edginess. Directly
linking with their
style of music.
The block colours over the artists
face make the images more
interesting, add hints of colour
and make the album cover look up
to date and fresh.
The girls also wear
fierce and bold
makeup with bright
lips or dark flicks
on the eyes.

3. The use of triangles are
seen a lot in pop videos,
albums, posters etc. nobody
is sure why but this links
to the illuminati theory.
This could be used to spike
interest and link their work
to popular artists such a
Beyoncé.
The girl bands name and
title of the album is seen
again on the cd in the same
font however it is now white
giving it a less edgy feel
but making it stand out on
the yellow background and
link in with white
triangles.
The CD is very simple and
involves no complex images,
this turns all the focus to
the front cover of the
girls.
The patterns of the triangles
make the CD very recognizable
straight away.
The colour of the CD
challenges the typical
conventions of this
genre as it’s a very
dull and dirty colour
rather than bright
vibrant colours you
would normally see.
The colours and
style of the
disc don’t follow
the dark edgy
theme of the
digipak.

4. The all black
background to this
album follows the
grungy edgy feel it
has and is a direct
contrast to the white
on the front of the
album.
The text on the back of the album
is the same front as the album
title on the front (similarly to
Rihanna’s) however it is white
rather than black.
Like Rihanna’s and most
albums this includes a
bar code and what label
the band is signed to as
well as other people that
worked on the album.
The songs are
numbered using a
smaller and
different font so
the song titles
stand out more (this
text is also used to
show who features on
the song on track
05). This makes it
easier for the
audience to find the
songs.
Atypically to a pop
album but
stereotypically to a
girl band album the
back of the album is
very plain with one
block colour and text
on top. Pop artists
such as Rihanna
normally have another
image of there selves
on the back of the
album to show the star
image as much as
possible. Girl bands
don’t tend to do this
but some can be found
with posters/pictures
inside the album
showing of each
member.
