David Bowie | The Next Day










Genre: Art Rock
Colour Scheme: Black and white
Visuals: The front cover is of David back, black and white, in a back background. His face is covered by a large square, as is seen in other panels of the digipak. The back of the CD's credits are cut off by the square motif, and track information is overlayed over that. Inner features include a fold-out poster which is red, yellow and blue and is a blown up version of the front image on the Album. On the back of this is a blue and yellow sheet with a list of acknowledgements and lyrics for his songs. I really like the minimalism and simplicity of the design (even is the album was a total train wreck, music-wise).
Writing: Clean and slim. On the back and inner pages, the font is extremely small, which gives the illusion of space and sparceness.
