Digipak analysis
The Arctic Monkeys' debut album cover features a black and white photo of a working class friend of the band smoking, representing their image as down-to-earth northern English lads. The simplistic design presents them as relatable rather than celebrities. Beyoncé's Lemonade cover depicts her in cornrows and fur coat, portraying wealth and black culture rather than typical female pop star femininity, reflecting the album's themes of exposing her husband's cheating and seeking revenge rather than victimhood. The 1975's I Like It When You Sleep... cover switches from dark indie colors to pastels, possibly challenging rock stereotypes and engaging their target teenage female audience through individuality and feminine aesthetics repeated across their

- 1. CD COVER ANALYSIS!
- 2. This Album cover may symbolise politics, rebellion, rites…. It looks to show self belief and power maybe against government rites.. The gratified words express strong belief and emotion towards human rights. This kind of image is sold to politically minded people who may have issues about how their country is run or how the world is portrayed in the modern day world. The battle of Los Angeles is about another form of life being discovered at a certain place and time.. It shows one persons view of riots in an artistic way.Involing graffiti and the simplicity of the portrayed message.
- 3. This album cover shows a variety of punk rockers… Shows rebellious behaviour… Shows comedy ..The audience for this album maybe for teenagers who like punk/rock.. Their behaviour seems indecent…because its trying to portray a message to teenagers… Their many forms of facial features show the different personalities they posses at once.
- 4. I think album cover looks very serious and sends a strong message… Its main focus is shown through the eyes which look powerful and serious.. It contains part of each member of the bands face…this may imply that the group are very close in terms of relations and friendship.. It also contrast with some sort of bird, either an owl or an eagle. This may relate to the bands mixed emotions and seriousness about them.. Looks serious, dark…
- 5. This album looks very childish because of its cartoon like image.. Meaning that this album is very light towards the seriousness of everyday life.. It looks to show how chaotic life can be and this album is trying to shows the bright side of chaos. It involves a city or town centre showing what you kind find in everyday life and also how modern day technology has changed over the years. The picture contains Teenagers partying, work related topics, traffic congestion, but shows that everyone in the album looks to be having a good time. It looks energetic and fun….colourful
- 6. This album also shows strong rebellious behaviour by a certain stereotypical type of people standing up for what they believe in.. It shows a lower class of people who have been forgotten and left out of by possibly the government. It shows how powerful outlaws and the dark side of the law can be when they all come together to fight. All the people involved look very serious.. Their facial features and expressions shows their angry and making a stand once and for all.. The slogan use “Ten Thousand Fists” Shows that when everyone pulls together for what they believe in the are unstoppable. It also looks very dark and sinister, may involve a certain race or religion.
