'Remember That I Love You' digipak analysis

When looking at the Digipak, 'Remember that I love you' by Kimya Dawson there are a number of features to pick up on.

Firstly, the cover presents cartoon imagery of cannibalistic animals. This, I would usually associate with children, along with the fact that the graphology looks hand drawn. Furthermore, the typography also appears child-like due to the handwritten style and the imperfect colouring of the red heart. From the title, the digipak would imply that the album is focused on the issue surrounding love and relationships. Additionally this could be assumed due to the heart being the solitary colour on the cover, possibly representing the dominant theme.

Next, when looking at the back of the digipak, the colour scheme carries through using the three colours of red, white and black. Following my previous comment on the assumption that the album is principled on love and relationships, the colour scheme could surround the positives and negatives of love. Black generally has negative connotations, that of fear and the unknown in opposition to white which depicts the positive, such as faith, purity and innocence.

Regarding the lexis on the digipak, this shows intimacy with the artist. This is indicated by the use of personal pronouns such as 'I' and 'My' demonstrating the sole connection between the lyrics and the artist. Subsequently, when listening to the track 'Looselips', this included lyrics identical to the album title, symbolising a constant message throughout. Moreover, other lyrics included 'monster's under your bed' demonstrating direct relevance to the imagery on the cover.

Penultimately, looking at the inside of the digipak, prior assumptions are supported by the handwritten typography, showing a childish style of writing by a lack of capitalisation and also the personalisation of the album, 'the hugs help more than you could know'. Evidence additionally aids that the artist is American, stating locations in Oregon and New York City along with the lexical spelling of 'Mom' within an individual song title.

Finally, upon the disc, the graphology mimics that of the style upon the digipak covering. Also, including the logo of the artist which is present upon both the disc and the seam of the album, used as a symbol recognisable as Kimya Dawson.
