Digipak Analysis 1 - A Flash Flood of Colour by Enter Shikari


This album 'A Flash Flood of Colour' by Enter Shikari was released in January 2012:


Front Cover:


This triangle is a key symbol in many of the bands music videos and merchandise making a common theme for many people to follow the band by. The logo is supposed to symbolise turning the society triangle we live in on its head, linking this logo to many of the bands lyrics and song titles. The way the cover photo is shot makes the triangle the key factor in the image, the red triangle could also link to the album title itself.


Inside of digipak: 





The inside of the digipak once again shows the symbolic triangle that the band would build their image around in an open space, similar to the front cover of the digipak, the band are most often specified as being in the metal genre so this inside of the digipak contradicts the stereotypical dark and gloomy metal image as the colours used are very bright.

Back:


The back of the digipak lists the song titles (and DVD's bonus feature), it once again continues the nature theme used throughout the rest of the digipak in a similar location to the one used on the front cover image. The two band labels are also specified on the bottom left corner. The spine of the CD also clearly indicates the band name and album title
