Buying patterns 2 Feist sells many products to a smaller group of

people. This is because she is not famous enough to

reach a lot of people with 1 product. For her album ‘The Reminder’ there are

several editions and bonus features for this album.

Monarch (Lay Your Jewelled Head Down) Feist's solo debut album, was released in

1999. It contains 10 songs, including "Monarch" and "That's What I Say, It's Not What I Mean.“ The album was produced by Dan Kurtz who would later form Dragonette.

Monarch (Lay Your Jewelled Head Down)Name ‘Feist’ is one of the main features of the front cover. This shows her name is a big selling point for the Digipak.

Also on the front cover there is a woman whom we can only assume is Feist

The title of the Digipak is samller and less important than the other title, yet it is the name of the Digipak and tells the customer what it is called.

The use of the yellow and orange on the Digipak will attract attention. It is also very calm and not over powering.
