This is my analysis of the Katy Perry CD Digipack for the album 'Prism'.

1. It appearsthat boththe front coverand the back coverof the CD digipackhasmediumclose up
shotsof the artist.She is makingdirecteye contactwiththe audience whichcouldperhapsmake her
audience feellikeshe iscontactingthemona personal level.The backcovershowsthe artist'sbody
to be facingaway fromthe camera but herheadis turned
to make directeye contact withthe audience.Itsuggests
that she wantsto be provocative andperhapsmysterious.
The overall coverstheme couldbe brightnatural and
colourful.
From lookingatthe Digipackisseemsthatthere isno
obviousnarrative.There couldbe themesof freedomand
happinesswiththe use of afieldwhichisalarge open
space.The sunflowerssuggeststhisasthe colouryellow is
linkedtohappiness.
The digipackimagesare
not conventionalof apop singerbecause hermakeupisquite
natural and the settinglookslike itisina fieldorsomewhere in
nature howeverastereotypical popstarwouldusuallybe ona
setwithglamorous hairand makeup.
The lightingishighkeylightingwhichseemstobe natural sun
lightalthoughitcouldhave beenadjustedslightlytogive the
overall image asense of warmth,itexaggerates the potential
there of 'natural beauty'.
The backgroundis nota typical backgroundof a popsinger
because unlike the RihannaCDdigipackwhere itseemslike
the settingison a stage whichisa natural an stereotypical
settingfora singer,the KatyPerryCD digipackisbasedina
