Blink 182's "Enema of the State" has a strong colour scheme, the main colours are yellow, blue, red and white. It is used in the nurse's makeup, her tattoos clothes and the band's logo.The pages of the booklet also feature these colours in the lockers, the wall and the shorts of men, as well as the floor, wall and nurse's outfit in on the back. This is a good use of synergy main cover and rest of the digipak are clearly linked.
The album cover has a nurse smiling at the camera and putting on a glove in a revealing nurse outfit. This links with the album's title "Enema of the State" and makes it more memorable for the target audience.
The immaturity of the photos reflects what the band is like so this will appeal to their die hard fans and will also attract the target audience who are teenagers and young people, slightly more boys than girls.
Industry
The companies have there logos only on the back of the CD case, not the actual artwork itself. The logos are not in the front on the album cover because much like Nimrod fans wouldn't want to see corporate logos when they buy it. the logos are however, on the back
Representation
The girl in the digipak artwork is shown wearing revealing clothes, this sexualises women by creating standards for women. She is represented as a nurse so uses the stereotype that all women are nurses, not doctors. The boys are represented as immature, high school age and less serious than women (as you can see on the back image).
