Digipak Analysis - Marina and the Diamonds

Here I have started to analyse the digipak/CD cover for Marina and the Diamonds' album, The Family Jewels.

Font/Text
The font on this digipak is bold but does not interfere with the image on the front and back. It is in white in the form of a handwritten style. The text has the artist's name with the album name in a smaller font beneath it. On the back of the digipak, the font is in the same font in a very creative style as is is written in a slanted form, sweeping across the cover along the shape of her hair and back of her head. The text on the front of the digipak matches the text on the CD however it is in black font against a dark grey metallic colour on the CD.

Image
The images on this CD cover are all very similar, with each side of it showing the artists' face, just is different positions.  On the front cover, the artist is lying down with just her head and neck showing. Her body is coming in fron the right of the cover and she is making eye contact with the camera which may suggest her looking at you and telling you to buy the CD. Her hair is flowing underneath her as she is lying down but it is able to fill almost half of the cover. On the back cover, her head is falling backwards as she is leaning on her elbows. This is also very effective as again, she is looking directly at the camera. She is presented to be wearing no clothes as just skin is showing. Like the front cover, her hair is covering a lot of the back cover. On the inside of the CD, there is a close us shot of the artist, however she is covering her face with her fingers, stereotypically in the shape of a gun over her left eye, mouth and nose. I believe this may be a sign of her suggesting she is courageous or possibly daring. She is also looking at the camera. Her makeup is very simple with no major dark make up, however her face still seems bold and recognisable.

Layout
I like the layout of this CD cover as is is very mixed, however it all fits together because each side of the digipak/CD is very alike to eachother but all different. This is possibly due to the idea that the artist wants to metaphorically show every side of herself through this album. I believe that this is very important as I will be able to do that with my own digipak/CD.
