Digipak Analysis 2

The second digipak I am analysing is a live CD and DVD by The Killers from Royal Albert Hall. The cover goes against the convention of showing the artist and instead chooses to use the venue of the live performance. The mosaic style used references the cover to their last album Day and Age (shown below) which shows the audience that they are connected. The front and back cover follow the colour scheme of silver and purple, these colours connotate royality and glamourous images. This shows that the band are well established artists and thought of highly.

This digipak goes against conventions of showing the artist or band on the front cover but instead shows them on the inside panel. The black and white photos connotate that the band is professional and serious about their music. Black and white photos have a 'classic' appeal and this gives the impression that The Killers are a classic and well known band. The images themselves show the band getting ready for the performance which gives the audience an intimate look at the band rather than having them posing for a pre-planned photo shoot. The black and white image theme is followed on the other inside panels which show the empty venue.
