The front cover of the digipak
includes an image of an anonymous boy he is facing away from the viewer. He is
standing on a pillar of rock which is surrounded by other pillars. This has
connotations of being isolated and feeling vulnerable, which is a key theme in
Imagine Dragon songs such as Tiptoe. The background of the image is a dark pink
and blue smoky sky which can show he has a mystery future ahead of him. The
name ‘Imagine Dragons’ is in the bands house style which makes it recognisable
for fans and the logo elsewhere. The album title appears underneath in a
different font which stays consistent with the song names listed on the back of
the digipak.
The image behind the disk is
unclear and hard to see but appears to be the same as the background on the
front cover. The disk itself is plain grey with barely visible textured spots.
This links in with the connotations of the sky on the front cover, the pattern
is still generating like a computer and the boy still has time to work out his
future. The font is white and curly around the hole in the centre of the disk,
with the band name in bold and the album title next to it in the album house
style font. This style of positioning for the font is quite modern and
creative, utilising the physical shape of the disk.
The pages on the left hand side
feature an image of the band, standing on a bare hill with dark skies above
them. The colours here tend to revolve around grey and brown, which create connotations
with quite dull lives and not really knowing where they are going. A
mathematical problem is placed at the top of the image. This has a link to
confusion or problem solving, which connects to the idea of everything being
unclear for the character on the front cover. The following page on the right
is black with white lyrics; another optical illusion is used in the background
which enforces the connotations.
