Digipak Idea

I had the idea of using the same background as I used for the website on the digipak and then pasting pictures of the lead singer and maybe the band over the top.

I could also use pictures of locations on the digipak to match the urban genre of the artist/digipak design

Digipak Analysis 2 - Favourite Worst Nightmare by Arctic Monkeys

'Favourite Worst Nightmare' was released by the band Arctic Monkeys in 2007


Front Cover:



The front cover of this album shows both the band name and album title, unlike my previous example digipak. The font used for the words 'Arctic Monkeys' was commonly used throughout all band promo during the period after this album was released. The album cover shows a row of run down houses but one with lit up patterns inside, perhaps emphasising the mood and tone of the bands music as the bold colours stand out against the bleak and dark image used.

Inside of digipak:



The inside of the digipak shows the inside of the rooms shown as lit up on the front cover of the album , this once again shows a theme throughout the whole of the album artwork design. This design used is very unique and I have not seen this idea used by any other artist

Back:



The back of the digipak is very clear and plain and states the song titles and label that the band is under, the same font is used throughout the whole of the digipak.

Digipak Analysis 1 - A Flash Flood of Colour by Enter Shikari


This album 'A Flash Flood of Colour' by Enter Shikari was released in January 2012:


Front Cover:


This triangle is a key symbol in many of the bands music videos and merchandise making a common theme for many people to follow the band by. The logo is supposed to symbolise turning the society triangle we live in on its head, linking this logo to many of the bands lyrics and song titles. The way the cover photo is shot makes the triangle the key factor in the image, the red triangle could also link to the album title itself.


Inside of digipak: 





The inside of the digipak once again shows the symbolic triangle that the band would build their image around in an open space, similar to the front cover of the digipak, the band are most often specified as being in the metal genre so this inside of the digipak contradicts the stereotypical dark and gloomy metal image as the colours used are very bright.

Back:


The back of the digipak lists the song titles (and DVD's bonus feature), it once again continues the nature theme used throughout the rest of the digipak in a similar location to the one used on the front cover image. The two band labels are also specified on the bottom left corner. The spine of the CD also clearly indicates the band name and album title
