Example "Playing in the Shadows"


This is Example’s second album, Playing in the Shadow. The front cover is similar to the two previous Calvin Harris albums. A black and white photograph has been used again with a dark shadow cast over one side of Example’s face. This could have been used to suggest that he has a split personality. This also ties in with the album title, Playing in the Shadows. His name is featured in a bold, yellow text and the album title is in a white font. The style echoes that of Calvin Harris’s albums, featuring only a photograph or image of a head. The album cover also features a parental advisory label. The overall mise en scene of the album cover fits the dance genre.

  1. Interesting again. Nice bold cover which as you say is very similar in style to others working in the genre. You need to try find the track listing and any other artwork to help you plan your own digipak
