Band name in bright colours, central and at the top of the digipak. To show off the band name and to catch the eye of the potential buyer of the album.

Name of the album is 1984, written here in Roman numerals.

Unconventional way of naming an album maybe designed to make it stand out from other albums at the time.

Bright, light colours suggest happy positive music, not normal for a rock album, perhaps made this way by design.

We see an image of wings, suggesting an angelic image, which is not typical of the rock genre.

We see a baby which to us suggests innocence, a direct contrast to what rock and roll was supposed to be.

We see two boxes of cigarettes and the baby with a lit one, suggesting that this “innocent baby” is not so innocent and more in line with the traditional rock and roll image.

No sign whatsoever of the record label that produced the album, unconventional for now, however in the 80’s when this album was made the album art was deemed more important than promoting the record label.
