Digipack Contextual- Lily Allen

Lily Allen who has been placed in the foreground, is clearly the main focus of attention here. Everything around her relates to her songs in one way or another, which we will take in to consideration when creating our own digipack. The dress she is wearing relates to one of her songs as it is named after it "LDN". The clashing colours that have been used for this digipack are very well suited to Allen, as she is a quirky and outgoing artist and known for being a little bit different. The classic red bus in the background, the policemen and big ben tell me that she is in London. However this also relates to some of her lyrics in "LDN" as she says "Riding through the city on my bike all day cause the filth took away my license". Therefore the policeman shown in the bottom left hand corner is also very relevant, obviously alot of thought has gone in the making of this digipack and how to link the lyrics of the song to the images. The pimp by the bus realtes to "Then I see it's a pimp and his crack whore" and the man mugging the old lady relates to "a kid came along to offer a hand But before she had time to accept it hits her over the head, doesn't care if she's dead Cause he's got all her jewelery and wallet".
