1. Tame Impala Digipak Analysis
The Front Panel
The band Tame Impala, are similar to the
band Pond. They are a psychedelic rock
band a like the band Pond and are also
Australian. The first thing I noticed as an
overview of the album was the images on
each of the panels. The mountains, clouds
and trees and water all help to convey the
theme of nature. This totally contrasts the
genre of the band, which is psychedelic
rock. However on the front of the album, a
mirrored / vortex effect has been used on the cloud. This makes the image fit the
psychedelic theme and therefore links the album cover to the genre of the band.
Also the mix of colours, which use a range from light green to brown, orange and
then white and blue compliment the front of the cover and also help convey the
psychedelic genre.
The Middle Panels
The middle panels convey the
same genre, psychedelic rock
and does this by the use of the
colours and the mirrored effect
of the mountains and clouds.
This image looks unusual and
then conveys the psychedelic
rock theme. We then see the
names of the tracks on the
panels, which tell the audience
which tracks, are on each of the vinyl’s.
The Back Panel
On the back panel of the Digipak,
the main thing that draws in the
audiences attention is the image of
the view over the trees. This theme
has been carried on from the first
panel, the front cover. The colours
are also similar, which keeps a good
level of consistency throughout the
album. The bright colours contrast
the dark colours and this contrast
help convey the genre of the album by creating a psychedelic theme.
