Coldplay 'Mylo xyloto' Digipak Analysis

Coldplay 'Mylo xyloto' Digipak album.

Front cover of Digipak

The front cover consists of many colours suggesting the songs that it contains are happy or lively. It is also very messy and crammed with this lively spirit that the colours portray. The font that they have used looks like thick bubble writing. This connotes a dreamy feeling along with the randomness with the name itself. In the background of the album is there art work which is original to them and the graffiti shows the song names within the album. I really like this and it adds to the bands originality. The concept of it was picked because of Coldplay's unique style of music, it needed unique artwork.

Back cover of Digipak

Along with the front the background has been covered in colour to suggest the same connotations as the front cover, it also just carries on the theme and stops confusion. The writing is kept the same as the front to also keep the theme, however it can clash with the colours in the background making it hard to read in some places. They also added some symbols across the bottom starting with MX which symbolizes "Mylo Xyloto" and then a spiral for "Hurts Like Heaven", Butterfly for "Paradise" and Flower for "Charlie Brown". This follows suit all the way across from left to right corresponding with the tracks top to bottom.

Inside cover of Digipak

Here on the inside is the same image as the front however it is not disturbed by the big writing that's on the front. The image must be the original none edited one because it is the same as the front but the front cover is a cropping of this one and that cropping enhanced to grab the passers by attention. It also has all the legal copyrights and recognition's required.  This also shows the title once again but smaller and rotated counter clockwise 90 degrees, and moved to the left out of the way.
