Digipak Analysis - Green Day, 'American Idiot'

Green Day - 'American Idiot' Digipak Analysis

• This album was written and produced in 2004 and is inspired by American politics, including topics such as the war in Iraq and George Bush's presidency. 
• Therefore the artwork on the front cover reflects both the themes as well as a lyric in one of their songs; "She's holding onto my heart like a hand grenade"

• The digipak itself includes a booklet in which the lyrics are displayed in a handwritten font to seem as if they were the final drafts of the song. 
• This makes the whole feel of the album seem more realistic due to the heavy topics carried out in their songs "American Idiot" and "Holiday" about American politics.
