Gotye's album "Like Drawing Blood" contrasts with typical singer-songwriter albums in its album artwork. The digipack features drab colors with a blood-stained effect, referencing the album title rather than featuring the artist. Gotye's name appears subtly in small red writing in the bottom corner. Only the album title appears on the spine in a contrasting beige color. Though different than typical portraits of the artist, the drab colors are meant to convey themes of heartbreak associated with the singer-songwriter genre.
