Digipak inspiration - Arctic Monkeys 'Whatever people say I am, that's what I am not'

Front:

This is the front cover of the album. The image draws attention straightaway, as it is interesting and perhaps a little controversial. It is definitely unconventional of front covers. Yet, this is most certainly the point. The band want to convey their edgy, controversial image. The band's name is displayed in the top,left-hand corner. It stands out against the metallic background, but also conveys genre. The indie/garage rock feel is portrayed through the font, that is unique and creative. However, the album title is not displayed. This again, signifies the importance of the image, as the band hope that alone will make this album recognisable, therefore doing the work of a title.





Back:

The image follows on from the front, yet looks depressing. However, it is to help the album become recognisable. Again, the same font as from the front is used for the tracklist. The barcode, record label and credits are displayed, as well as the album title which is displayed on the spine, in a different, more formal font. This possibly conveys the other side of the band's controversial persona; they are also professional.








CD:

This CD artwork is again unconventional, but relates to the images on both the front and back of the digipak. The band's record label is displayed, as well as the Copyright statement and credits. This disc is meant to stand out, and the image definitely does that, by being controversial and bold. This helps for the audience to understand the band's persona, without seeing a picture of them.
