The front of the digipak is of a battle field, viva la vida's literal meaning is live the life which works along side the image suggesting the liberal feel of winning a battle, with the woman in the image holding a flag above everyone else suggesting dominance. The plain darker colours may show sadness because of the loss of people in the image but the brightness of the flag allows it to stand out again showing dominance on the battle field.
The back of the digipak shows the song listings in the middle of the cover, this is a simple background but works because of the contrast in colours of yellow and black. It's a little boring and they could have used a similar feel of the front cover to the back and the rest of the album.
The inside left of the digipak I believe does not particularly work along side the rest of the album, if they had kept an abstract feel to this part of the digipak like the front I believe it would have worked. The black and white works because of the darker colours on he cover, but I do believe they could have used better images or abstract ones of themselves perhaps. I like the use of the offset images as if they have been stuck in.
The inside right of the digipak again is quite plain and because the cd would go over the top of the text you wouldnt see it. It's simple because it brings more attention to the front cover perhaps, but I do think they could have added a little more colour or again abstract images.
