Digipack analysis- The Stone Roses








In this album digipack by The Stone Roses the colour scheme is what stands out to me first as being what attracts me to it. I like the constant running theme throughout of the famous Union Jsck flag, which suggests this is proud british band that is also resebeling the idea of MOD as this flag symbolised that for previous successful bands such as 'The Who' and 'The Jam'. The album cover dosnt actually show the flag in it's complete form but we know from the combination of the colours red, white and blue that this is what they trying to show, and i like this immidiatly makes us think of the Union Jack flag.
The writing in the inside of the digipack is set out in lines with simple font to make it easy to read. Each line of writing alternates from red to blue on a white background, this again keeps the theme of the flag running. I feel i could create a theme with similar effect to show the audience what genre of music we are portraying and style we are representing. Also, the picture of the band has a painted colage behind them and this mainly has the colours of the Union Jack flag in it. For me it gives the impression that you can make an effective background without putting too much effort in, this album cover proves this.

  1. Jack, the artwork for this was made by John Squire (the bassist in The Stone Roses) and a lot of his work is inspired by Jackson Pollock.
