digipack analysis

1. The background of the grass
and flowers connotes that
here is happiness and a
wilderness about the artist.
This represents the life of
Mura Masa and how his life is
a adventure which connotes
that he is a interesting
character and there may be a
incoherent star image.
The use of just black and white
colours means that there is
nothing standing out that is very
bright and it connotes that the
star image of Mura masa can
seem very plain at first which
ties in with Dyers theory of
being extraordinary/ordinary.
The fingers being crossed
represents a sign of hope and
wishful thinking. This helps to
construct Mura Masa’s star
image because it connotes
that he is hoping for cultural
diversity and open minded
accepting people like himself,
and what is portrayed in his
video as this is his star image.
The hand being cut off is
contradicting how this whole
picture is full of happy imagery
this is because it being cut off
represents a message being
shown without the person there
to show it, this connotes that
Mura Masa is showing us that his
messages are shown withoit him
being in the video and reinforcing
Dyers theory of being
present/absent at the same time
and this is a star quality.
