Digipack Analysis

Andrew Goodwin’s theory of star image is prevalent in this album cover . Example’s face takes up a large part of the overall image which suggests a use of minimalism and that his image alone will be enough to entice people to buy the album.

Another theory which applies to this album cover is David Gauntlett’s ideas on the representation of stereotypes and an individual’s identity. We can see through the use of lighting that there is an obvious reference to light and dark personality, perhaps a comment on the individual's personality.

James Baker’s theory on how media is produced. The selection of images and how they are arranged are very important as it determines what the audience focus’s on . This also links to Andrew Goodwin’s theory of star image as the images chosen are very simplistic, focusing solely on the artist.
