Digipak Analysis || Twenty One Pilots - Blurryface

The digipak for Twenty One Pilots album Blurryface shows the synergy across the whole product. The front and back cover and the CD design all follow a similar layout and colour scheme.


The colours used on this digipak can be linked to the idea of rebellion and fighting back against the norm. This comes across in the bands music as well, as Tyler's lyrics speak of how they have had to fight for their place in the music industry.

The typeface that has been used is very simplistic much like the the typeface on New Politics album cover, the font is clear with bigger spaces making it easy to read. This adds to the urban and edgy feel of the album digipak and fits with the alternative genre.

The black, white and red colour scheme is very similar to other bands within the same genre, alternative. Bands such as New Politics and Panic! At The Disco, this may be because alternative is not as popular genre in the eyes of the music industry so these bands have had to work hard to get their music noticed and to not conform to the standards of the music industry.


The panels inside of the digipak the same colour schemes are followed, black, red and white. The borders also use the patterns that are found in the circles in the front cover, this makes the whole digipak feel like it is one whole product along with the music on the CD.
