  Digipak Analysis –You Me At Six Front Cover Back Cover The CD Digipak designed for You Me At Six’s album; Take Off Your Colours is another artistic album cover with a colourful design on the front cover. The reason for the colourful design on the front cover is definitely linking itself to the album’s name which is also a song on the album which was probably the main focus of this album possibly showing a playful side as many bands do playful songs which aren’t always meaningful and are for enjoyment and meant to be laughed at and be appreciated without being serious about trivial meanings. Although one could argue this is a very great looking album, I believe this band cares more about their music when selling these albums as they don’t go a great length to make their album stand out in comparison to other albums which is why they stuck to a simple design of a brown template with some mixed colours to make the front cover look nice. Alongside this is a mix of different fonts which work really well making some of the artist’s name in bold and others in normal text as well as differentiating the album name and songs from the band’s name with different types of fonts. I also think the centre circle with the dots is a speaker with different splatters of colours possibly representing the band’s style of music being creative and coming out into a bland environment as if their music is different to other people’s music and very unique. As you can tell from the album’s design there isn’t much else to find as opposed to other band’s album covers and I think the simplicity of this album cover gives it a charm which I should consider when making my own CD Digipak.
