Analysis of second digipak

The second digipak I am going to analyse is 'Ke$ha - Animal & Canibal' This is a mix of her first albums, that were both released in 2010.

The title of the albums have a big influence on how the album looks, on both of them she looks hard faced and doesn't smile she looks fierce like an animal. This could be showing the audience the hard serious side of her personality as in her music videos she is portrayed as a fun loving character.
The cover of the album shows half of each of her album covers that appeared to have been ripped maybe slashed by an animals claw and it looks like it has been stitched together frantically, this helps the audience get an idea of what style of music the artist is and shows that both of her albums have consecutive themes.
Also the saturation of the pictures and the grainy effect they have gives the audience a sense of wild, just like animals. She also doesn't care how she looks as she hasn't really posed for the pictures unlike the pictures we have seen on the Katy Perry digipak, the Ke$ha pictures are a total contrast.
The main picture within the digipak is  the artist stood in front of an American flag, this is showing the artists roots, as she was born in America.
The rest of the digipak contains lyrics and more pictures that she has posed for, the back of the digipak mimics the front of the digipak with once again the picture been torn in half giving the audience an animal feeling there is also claw marks at the bottom of the page. The barcode is also unconventionally in the top left hand corner when it is usually seen in the bottom corner.
