Viva La Vida - Coldplay
Front Panel
Picture
Liberty Leading the People (French: La Liberté guidant le peuple) is a painting by Eugène Delacroix commemorating the July Revolution of 1830, which toppled King Charles X of France. A woman personifying the concept and the Goddess of Liberty leads the people forward over a barricade and the bodies of the fallen, holding the flag of the French Revolution – the tricolour flag, which remains France's national flag.
Font
The title of the album 'Viva la Vida' is in white which symbolises freedom. The name of the band is not mentioned which connotes the significance of the historic event and the music they have created for it.
The name of the album is in a scribbled font as if drawn on with paint. This connotes rebellion as it is scribbled over a historic event - like vigilantes.
Back Panel
Font
The font is a Sans Serif font in gold. The colour of Gold implies that the writing (track list) is important as gold connotes significance.
Layout
The text is situated central to the panel, down the middle of the frame. This creates a clean and professional feel towards the panel. There is smaller text under the track list were special mentions are made towards the company and other names that helped make the album.
The side edges are also covered with text such as the name of the album and band name. These are also in gold and sans serif font.
Background
The panel has no camera work used and instead is a plain black background. This creates a minimalistic panel which allows the audience to focus on the track list and the music that the band have made.
Inside Panels
Left panel
Back ground
The panel has the same black background as the back panel creating synergy within the digipack. It is clean and professional as it adopts a minimalistic approach.
Layout
The text is situated in the center of the panel, just like the other text on other panels, creating synergy. That is all that appears on the panel.
Text
The text is in sans serif font in the colour gold. Again creating synergy in the digipack through the same font and font colour used throughout. the first line is the name of the band, second is the name of the album and the third line is the name of the single.
The effect of having this order of text creates a hierarchy of importance. According to Dyer, the band have announced themselves more important than their music by having their name the first that appears. this is because they are stars and stars construct themselves as more important.

Camera work
Each one of the frame is shot at a different angle to be visually pleasing for the audience. Having said this, the shots are all mid length which allows the audience to create a personal relationship with the band as they are shown up close - uses&gratification theory.
Disc
Font
The text is gold and in sans serif font. It reads the track list and the record company used. By not putting the name of the band on the disc like the majority of other pop digipacks, they challenge Dyer's star theory by implying that they music is more important than their popularity.
Mise en Scene
The disc is black which synchronises the synergy between the panels and the disc. This helps the audience to identify the band and their music easily, giving the band an identity.
