The first thing that strikes me about this album cover is the artists vivid glare directly at you. This immediately draws you in and captures our attention with the bright highlighting of specific areas of his face. The two yellow bars at the edge of the album help frame the central image and also funnel your attention into the centre of the page (which is the artist). The incorporation of his hands into the front image adds an element of surprise and yet again funnels our attention to the artist. Throughout the rest of the booklet we see a wide variety of photographs showcasing the artist but also showing off his unique and humourous personality. The font style also reflects the artist with it being contemporary but also quite 'relaxed' in appearance as it looks slightly like handwriting therefore reinforcing the simple nature of the design. The grey background keeps everything simple and yet clean, crisp and professional whilst also creating more focus for the text and photographs. In my opinion this is one of my favourite digipaks simply because it doesnt just show pictures of the artist, but it attempts to show the artist normally - without having to do extravagent photographs or include eccentric colours and fonts. As the artist is so 'down to earth' then this is what I feel they are tring to portray with this CD booklet.
