Real Friends Digipak

• Real friends are an American pop punk band, and this is the EP cover for 'Put Yourself Back Together'. This album name conforms to the Pop Punk genre, which typically portrays lyrics conveying anger, social rejection, romantic rejection, disappointment, etc. 
• The imagery of the old and broken items left on the side of the road/in the road, link to the album title as they suggest the idea that something needs fixing and putting back together, or the idea of being lost, with the objects being a physical representation of the vocalist's emotions, especially due to the fact that the objects are quite homely and personal.
• The items used in the image also connote the 'typical' pop punk style, with the use of vans and flannel shirts - generally a skater-like vibe. 

• The inside of the digipak shows continuity through the use of similar imagery, which relates to the genre of pop punk as often the the chords used are basic and repeated as well as having a catchy melody. 
• The two inside sections of the case could possibly be illustrating a before and after scenario with the two images on the left showing a phone, clock, clothes and pair of vans, whilst the image on the right portrays a contrast; a zoomed in version of the same image on the cover, where these same items are scattered and broken. Once again generating a saddening atmosphere which pop punk often does through its lyrics, despite its upbeat instrumentals - This could also be linked to the use of two contrasting images.
• The top left of the inside cover shows text on a pale cream background, with the faded image of the items behind. The colour used for the background is similar to that of the shoes, clock and telephone, this shows a clear colour theme and continuity throughout, additionally, the colour palette is quite cold, linking back to the emotions generated through the album title. 

• The back of the cd once again uses similar imagery to the front and inside of the digipak, reinforcing the idea of this continuing emotional atmosphere which is likely to be conveyed in the songs on the album. 
• The back of the digipak states 'when all of the pieces fall apart, you have to put yourself back together', this gives the audience an idea that the contents of the album will include feelings of perhaps loneliness, disappointment, upset etc 
• The font on the digipak is easily read with bold, white font on a darker background.
• The shot of all the items used has been positioned in a way in which highlights the road in the background. This, alongside the objects used, such as shoes and clocks, could be symbolic of the fact that even if things look bad, or are falling apart, you can move past it in time.
• The back of the cd also contains the common features of a digipak, for example a bar code, and information about who distributed the cd.
