The document analyzes and summarizes the album covers of three albums: 1) Ed Sheeran's "X" album cover has a simplistic green and black design consistent with his other albums, helping create brand recognition. 2) Twenty One Pilots' "Blurryface" cover has cryptic red and white patterns on a black background that create intrigue, along with the group and album names. 3) Bruno Mars' "Doo-wops and Hooligans" cover has a simplistic pop art-inspired yellow, white, and black design meant to look worn, helping it stand out.

1. Digipack analysis
George Silke

2. Ed Sheeran: XThe CD cover has a simplistic
design that is similar to his other
albums to create a sense of
branding and consistency. The
vibrant green colour and bold “X”
helps the cover stand out and
gives the cover a distinct design.
As the cover is consistent with Ed
Sheeran's other album covers, it
will appeal to the people that
collect his albums.
The back of the album carries over
the simplistic design from the front
of the digipak as well as the green
and black colour scheme. There is a
drawing of the artist, Ed Sheeran, in
the centre of the back cover. His
name is and the name of the album
is displayed on the spine of the
album which is on the right hand
side. All of the legal information is
at the bottom of the back cover as
well as the barcode.
The album design is
stylized and simplistic so it
only uses green and black
for its colour scheme.

3. 21 Pilots Blurryface
The album has a simplistic
design with patterns that stand
out. The three colours that
were used are black, red and
white. Despite the fact that
only three colours were used,
they all compliment each other
and help the album stand out.
The cover of blurryface has various
different patterns that are red and white in
colour, This is very cryptic in its meaning
and creates a sense of intrigue for its
audience. The colours used make the
patterns stand out from the black
background. They have also added the
group and album names on the front with
the same font design. The lines through
the text gives them a distinct look and
style.
The lines that are seen on the front are also used
on the back cover. This helps to create a consistent
style and branding for 21 Pilots. They have also
used the same colours from the front of the
album to carry on the same style and design. The
record label and legal information is displayed on
the left hand side next to the song titles in the
centre.

4. Bruno Mars Doo-wops and Hooligans
The cover of doo-wops and
hooligans uses a simplistic design
similar to old pop art designs. It
has also been given a worn look to
reinforce this look and style. It uses
a vibrant yellow colour which
makes it stand out.
Due to the albums simplistic pop
art look it only uses three
different colours. The yellow,
white and black all stand out
from each other and make it
“pop”.
The back cover carries over the same
pop art style that was used for the
front of the album. The song titles are
in the centre of the back cover in a
white circle to help them stand out
more. The artists name and album
title are also on the spine of the
album in white and black text.
