2. They have
used an Indie
looking photo
and filter to
represent the
genre they
are in.
This Arctic Monkey
cover has a very
simplistic design but
have used filters. By
doing this you could
say they have made
the cover look
uncertain when
looking at the digpak
at first.
In this digipak they have
used font very well by
picking a font and
typography that has a
Indie feeling this is back
up by having a jar in the
word, to make the effect
that the words are
slipping away. This could
relate to what all the
songs are about in that
album. There is no sign
of the the albums name,
this makes a element
surprise for the listen
when they listen they
don’t know what the
album and songs are
By not having the name of
the album on the front
cover, this stick to and
follows the simplicity of the
cover.
In main way they have
gone away from
convention that other
bands us which is that
they use pictures of
themesleves
performing or doing
something, They have
gone away from
convention by using a
random picture that
has nothing to do with
the band as their
digipak cover.
There is no barcode
on this front cover
again sticking with the
simplicity and include
the essentials on the
front and leaving the
important things for
the back.
