Twenty One Pilots Digipak Analysis

The Twenty One Pilots Digipak includes their album art, their website, their music videos and their posters that are in magazines. The album itself has the signature, unusual imagary that they have on every album they have produced, which each mustve been produced by commissioning an artist and working with them to produce art that is interesting and also represents the bands image well enough to be recognisable. It is madeup of nine circles filled with patterns, each a representative of a song on the album, giving each song its own personal art. The use of colour is very important, as Twenty One Pilots are known for their use of black contrasted by bright colours, and the background for the album art is Black with the white and red contrasting that, as seen through their costumes on the website, music video and poster. They dress in these colours, particularly Black and Red as they are colours representative of inner darkness and are colours that stand out which is a common theme throughout the album. Having a particular style and colour theme in the Mise-en-scene is a convention of the alternative/ rock genre which Twenty One pilots have alongside the conventions of coloured hair, piercings and tattoos. On the poster, music video, and website they also have very stylised poses which evoke emotions of sadness, sombre, and anger which are common themes in their music and conventions in the genre. The website itself has the black and red colours set against each other alongside stylised typography and the album art which make it interesting to look at and very easy to read. There is also the photo of both band members in a close up which makes them the first thing someone sees entering the website, meaning they are going to be remembered and that is what artists want to strive for, for their persona to be memorable. overall there is a lot of synergy between the website, music videos, website, and digipak, which give them a theme and make them more memorable, something for their audience to follow.
