Arctic Monkeys digipak analysis

This is the digipak from the British Indie/Rock artists 'Arctic Monkeys' and their album 'Whatever people say i am, thats what im not'. This was their debut album and was released in 2006 and features two number one records.

Front cover
The image of the front cover includes a close-up of the main subject smoking a cigarette which could represent a 'bad boy' representation and stereotype of the band and their music. The main subject is sat in front of a black background so all the focus is on him and what he's doing and his facial expression. The cigarrete is the motif within the digipak and features a variety of times. The artists name is in the top left hand corner and done in a modern font which relates to the modern stereotpyical man who's been photographed.

Back cover
The back cover again the conventional song titles are in the top left hand corner with the text in white contrasting against the black background so it's easy on the eye. The main subject is the same and he is holding the cigarette to keep continuety with the front cover.

Disc
The disc has cigarretes printed on it to look like it's an ash tray and to keep the motif of cigarretes continious. It's also done in black and white to keep continuety with the rest of the digipak to make it look proffesional.
