In class we talked about how to best present a digipack. We talked about two different artists whom had inspiration to famous artwork, Madonna and Barney Berwick.

Funeral to a friend are promoting intertextulity with reference to Rene Magritte ‘les amants’. The history of Rene Magritte’s painting is that two lovers committed suicide in a lake and drowned. Therefore, album cover is connoting death, which is an immediate link to metal, which is what sound the band is promoting.

Madonna’s icon album design of ‘celebration’ makes it marketable because it is taking inspiration from Mr.Brainwash, a pop art image of Marilyn Monroe.

Gives Madonna credibility, bringing her audience in with her influence by pop art and being relative.

I very much liked the reference to the famous pop art style done of Marilyn Monroe that Madonna used. I decided I wanted to experiment with this style of illustrating my cd template.
