For my own Digipak analysis, I have chosen to look at Charli XCX with her album 'True Romance', released in 2013. I chose this album because it represents a similar sound to our own artist's, 'CHVRCHES'. The album is led by a synth/electro pop genre, which corresponds to our own artist's genre.
Colour plays a very important part in this cover, as the artist is seen surrounded by what appears to be neon lights, almost looking like electricity. Her body is also encompassed with stars and glitter. This could be symbolic of being quirky or 'out of this world'. Her style also appears to be very quirky and unique. She has a large silver chain hanging from her neck and her hair has been backcombed making it appear large, curly and grungy. This shows the audience her trademark brand, which is dark and quirky. Her sheer top and ripped jeans also tells the audience that she has an attitude and isn't afraid to stand out.
Her posture also communicates a lot to the audience; she appears to be hunched over, cradling herself in a child-like fashion. This could tell the audience that the album shows a more vulnerable side to her. Although her outfit doesn't portray her as being necessarily 'held back' or shy, she shows the public that she does in fact have a more vulnerable side to her. As the album's main themes are love and heartbreak, this pose manages to reveal this to the audience.
