The digipak album cover features a computer generated silhouette of a human head with brainwaves representing activity in the mind. This image represents the album title "The Mindsweep" and suggests intelligence through brightly lit brainwaves. While simplistic, the image conveys the album's message and features the band's logo. Inside photos show the band's audience, demonstrating their appreciation for fans. The narrative is mysterious but thought-provoking, and the colors merge electronic and post-hardcore genres influenced by dubstep. Icons throughout also show the album's variety of genres.

1. There is very little use of any characters throughout the digipak, with the only figure on the front
being a computer generated image of a silhouette of a human head with the brainwaves representing
the human mind. This image is cleverly used to represent the name of the album, The Mindsweep,
with the image showing the activity in the brain being incredibly bright, suggesting intelligence or a
realisation, something that the band strived for the album to show. This kind of image is
synonymous with bands of this genre as the cover art is simplistic yet shows the message of the
album as well as displaying the widely known band logo within the image, letting fans know who
the band are. The only images come from pictures taken of the audience of the concerts the band,
Enter Shikari, have embarked upon, showing they care for the audience and displaying the typical
audience interaction that metal and rock bands are best known for.
The narrative of the piece is quite enigmatic, with the main image speaking for the album itself. The
image is representative of the albums theme, being both thought provoking and mysterious, but also
showing that the album's purpose is to make the target demographic think. This is shown simply
through the main image. The colours are, however, an odd choice with the colder colours typically
being seen in more electronic music. However, with the band taking some influence from the
dubstep genre itself, the colours justify the merging of this with the more heavy post-hardcore
genre. Meanwhile, the inside of the album further shows the purpose of the album, as well as
acknowledging the bands fans and making them seem appreciated, something Enter Shikari are
quite fond of.
There are plenty of icons throughout the digipak which show that the album is a variety and a mix
of genres, giving the impression that the band are versatile and will adapt to what they are given.
Firstly and fore mostly is the colour scheme, bringing attention mainly to the more electronic side
of the music, with the blues and purples being synonymous with the genre, backed up by the almost
electrical wiring presented inside the silhouette. However, the silhouette itself is more a
representation of the rock side of the band, with things such as disembodied heads and skulls being
associated with the genre before.
There is very little to comment on within the mise-en-scene as the main image on the front of the
album appears to be the most complex, with the only other image of significance being that of the
fans inside.
Again, the technical and audio codes seem to be absent throughout with the majority of the image
being computer generated.
