For the first band, Bastille, the cover features the lead singer running and continues themes from their music videos in a dark, gritty style. The second, Arctic Monkeys, uses a simple black and white design with waveforms spelling the album title. The third, The 1975, displays the band name in neon signs on both the front and back covers in a minimalist black and white style consistent with their music videos.
The 1975 analysis completed
The album cover uses a greyscale color scheme with black and white contrast to represent the band's dark musical themes. The prominent black suggests their music covers topics like lost love and childhood upset. The lit-up band name draws attention as their debut, suggesting they are breaking through the music scene.

- 1. Digipak Analysis 3 – The 1975- The 1975 Sharmin Hoque
- 2. The 1975 - Digipak The illuminated square is the most eye catching part of the cover, along with the illuminated logo of the band name. The square is an iconic image of the band as it is used in the sets of their performances as well as being featured in some of their music videos. The all black cover represents the style of the band as well as working well with the bright white to make it standout and although is very simple, sums up the bands image.
- 3. The inside of the album folds out to reveal two landscape, similar images of the band in black and white. Black and white being the constant colour scheme of both the band their album, it reflects their cool, laidback personas as they are not in the business to be famous. Fans will again recognise the black and white theme as this is in many of their music videos.
- 4. The block capitals and two lines, are something which is iconic to the fans as the band use this style on all their social media, such as twitter. The black and white again is used to maintain the simple theme of the cover. Like all album back covers, they have a clear track listing, and production details which are in a small print at the bottom as many fans will not be interested in this aspect. Although black has connotations of heavy metal, Goth music, they surprise the audience with a pop element to their music. Like many indie bands they do not feature themselves on the cover as they find their music is more important than them being recognised. On the sleeve, there is the band name in the same font as the album cover, which is easily recognisable by any fan. Furthermore the record label is also seen on the side.
