Digipack analysis

David Grumel

• This digipack conforms to most conventions as expected

• The artist name is included as well as the album, which is a necessity

• The tracks are listed and it would appear that there are bonus tracks too

• Other things such as the artist logo and a barcode is also included as per convention

Design

• Overall, the design is very slick incorporating pictures of the artist

• It is also very simple but incorporates all the necessarry information

• I like the fact that there is no text over the photos, this creates minimilism

• The font works very well as does the white colour throught the text

What can I take from this

• The simplicity works very well, especially the white text, so I will think about using a similar idea

• The pictures with no text are also very nice so I will most certainly consider doing something similar

Mental Disclipline

• Again, this conforms to most conventions• It conforms to most conventions • Artist information is included as well as the

name of the artist and lyrics of songs• Pictures are however limited to background

shots

Design

• The design is very subtle but clever• The dark background colours work nicely to

allow the text to stand out and creates enigma• The title font is clever and works well for the

type of band this is but may be a little unclear from a distance

What can I take from this?

• I particularly like how the text colour contrasts the background and would do the same if I was to make a digipack

• I also like how the title text matches the band name and will explore this possibility for my design

Myth

• This conforms to most conventions and has a picture of the artist in some form

• There is also a logo for the artist• The track list also includes details about the

tracks which is a common feature on digipacks• There are many images covering the digipack

Design

• The design is a little bit brighter here but bright contrasts with dark, especially the white bit on the man’s face which makes things stand out

• There is a good range of colours which work well

• The only problem is that the logo is not very clear

What can I take from this?

• I like the range of colours and how they work together in a subtle way and would use this technique if I were to make a digipack

• I also like the fact that the white mask contrasts with the mans face-this could have connotations of good vs. evil
