Urban Flora Digipak analysis

1. DIGIPAK ANALYSIS 2
Alina Baraz & Galimatias – Urban Flora
Urban Flora is an album created by Alina Baraz &
Glimatias, similar to Flume, the artists have a very
unusual feel to their music. Alina Baraz’ work varies
within 2 main genres, House music and Electronic,
this is very similar to Flume and they have a very
indistinguishable feel to their songs.
Above is the frontcover of the Digipak from Alina Baraz &
Galimatias’ album ‘Urban Flora’. Its colour scheme seems very
dull at first, its heavy use of grey’s and white’s seem to make it
not visually pleasing however when youlook in detail that isn’t
the case. As you can see the main image is a shoulders and
upwards area of a statue. On the leftit is the statue as it would
normally be whereas on the right side it is made out of flowers
and shrubbery. This can be related to the album name itself
‘Urban Flora’, ‘Urban’ refers to a city/man made objects, whereas
‘Flora’ refers to plants. Therefore this image can be seen to
represent the album name, whichmay also be reinforced by the
colourchoices. The use of greys where ‘man’ may have been and
where there is wildlife/’Flora’ there is more natural colours such
as pinks/greens etc.
Above is the song list within the Digipak. It has a very similar feel to the cover;it has a very
bland colourscheme and has nothing that stands out. The font howeveris very different to
normal fonts. The fontused on the front page is different from the back; it has a very unique
aesthetic to it, whichcould be seen to follow the overall unique personalized feel to the
graphics of the digipak. The fonton the back is also different, it followsa usual bold looking
font, wellspaced out howeverhas an unusual way of listing the songs in order, instead of
typically writing 1. As an example it instead uses 01, which isn’t something that you would
commonly see on a digipak, showing the creative diversity of the artist.

2. On the left is the full vinyl collection. It has the original cover photo, alongside this it
comes with two other pieces of artwork, both with the same idea using a statue’s head
alongside the idea of nature, the one on the left using red petals and the one on the right
showing the head at the top of a tropical island. These I believe through research are
actually album artworks for other albums/singles they have released, which similar to
Flume’s is a very clever use of marketing. On the right is the back of the vinyl copy
which shows the song list + any extra’s, as well as record companies and a barcode.
Below is the vinyl copy of ‘Urban Flora’. It follows the same colour scheme as the
original digipak. Its centre of the vinyl record has a similar image to that of the cover
artwork. Also in the bottom left you can see another artwork, this is the artwork for the
album which only includes remix’ of the songs available, this is very similar to the
original just has a slightly brighter range of colours, which maybe used to show its
creative diversity to the originals.
