DigiPak Analysis - Feist


This digipak is from the artist "Feist". She is a female indie pop artist and the artwork on this didgipak reflects this very well. The intricate use of colours emphasize this thoroughly as though the artist may have a colourful personality. The use of sewing thread represents that she is a trend setter and works well with fashion regarding her music audience group and in general. as the album is called reminder, the artwork here emphasizes nostalgia and a journey. There is a "thought bubble" representing thoughts and memory and gives an insight to the sort of content the album would have. The artist has also used blacked out silhouette style images as though, the memories and connotations in regards to the reminders in the album aren't clear and she is over coming this through the use of the threads which act as safety nets and guidelines. The threads also possess a reference toward the question "how long is a piece of string" and this represents that because a piece of string cannot be measured due to its variation, thesame can be said for a person's emotions and memories. The threads are used on a diagram of the human body shape in different shapes and directions painting a vivid picture of the artist's train of thought as the chest area has a diamond style shape formed representing the key importance of the heart to the human body.
