'Made of Bricks' by Kate Nash Album Analysis

The image is a very wide shot of the house where the artist, Kate Nash, is barely visible. It is centred around the house and shows objects around it. The artist is not the main subject in the picture as she is very small, which helps the audience concentrate on the whole picture and think about what the meaning behind it is. The house is the main focus of the picture and it is in the centre which helps relate to the title of the album 'Made of Bricks'. This could quite simply mean that the house is made of bricks, however it could have a deeper meaning, such as the artist being 'made of bricks' representing how she feels inside. This title also makes the digipak of simple nature as it sounds pretty uncomplicated when you first read it.

 This is Kate Nash's album 'Made of Bricks'. It contains a variety of colours which are all quite bright. The house on the cover of the album pops out as it is bright yellow where as the background is deep blue. The artist is wearing a classy red dress which makes her stand out as well. She is walking towards the house but still facing the camera. Her outfit looks simple and sophisticated and it works well with the surroundings. The other main colour is light and dark green which differentiates the bushes from the grass. The colours are very distinguishable  from each other, as if the people who made it wanted us to concentrate on each of the different elements of the picture, instead of the overall look. This may have been done because it takes more time for people to look at the individual parts of the picture and it makes your eye stay focused on the album for longer, which might be an incentive for people to buy the album. Although bright, the colours are basic and earthy which represents Kate Nash's music. The colours on the back of the digipak are just two which shows that they are making us concentrate on the cover mainly. The back cover uses the same shade of blue as the sky on the main cover which is a hint that relates the two pages together.

The text is in white (on a blue background) , which is the same for the front of the cover and it makes the words, as well as the daisies stand out as they are white as well. What is smart about what they did was that they placed the title of the album and the name of the artist at the top and the daisies at the bottom, which are the same colour. They create a  synchrony and work as a frame, showing that the main things in the picture are between the daisies at the bottom and the text at the top.


Here is another digipak cover which I found and I think is similar to Kate Nash's 'Made of Bricks' album cover.

 I think this image relates to Kate Nash's image because it uses natural colours and the person in the image is quite far from the camera, although not as far as Kate is.

The font on the front and back cover of the digipak are the same and they are very simplistic. This matches the simple image on the front cover. The font looks handwritten which adds to the simple nature of the album and makes it look more exciting, as if the artist has actually scribbled the names of the songs down. There is 'Kate Nash' and the album written on the sides of the digipak.
