Research- Digipak Analysis

Rhinnas 'Loud' Digipak inolves Little text and many pictures of herself, in all of the pictures she doesnt look directly into the camera, this gives the images a sense of secrecy and and innocence this theme is carried on by the use of simple red and pink flowers. By using red it could symbloise passoin or danger both of which are present in many of her songs, by using the roses this adds a very femine feel and adds to the soft feel that the pictures also show. The simple thin white font is both clear and elegent and fits perfectly with the rest of the feel of images again not distratcing from the key images but making sure they are not overlooked.
 
The layout is simple and folds open to reveal a large three section picture of Rhianna in an elegenat pink dress surrounded by the dark of the green leafs and blood red roses this again afdds to the innocent of secrecy of the other images and shows Rhianna in a pure and innocent light.
 
I like the use of close up images within with Digipak, this is something i would like to recreate on my own Digipak as i think it allows the target audience to connect with the artist as there are no gimics, only them.

 Katy Perry's Teenage Dreams Digipak uses the same imagery used in her videos to front the cover, the brigt colours are very attracrive and fit in with her style and personality. the use of striped candy canes are used throughout making the o's in her songs one of the discs and the album lettering on the front cover.

She uses fantasy imagery such as her lying on candy floss clouds, this is something that many people wished for as as child and links to her 'anything is possible' philosophy. Due to the fact that the thought of candy floss clouds is such a nice image i think it is overlooked that the Artist is actually lying naked upon her cover.

On the back it is made sure that the song names are very clear in compariosn to the other information on the back which has been made sure is very small and not really something that would be read or taken in unless it was really looked at.

The two fonts used for the album name and the artists names are very contrasting with the album name being very solid and her name being bubbly and bright and girly again underpinning Katy Perry's personna.

Its this fun girly imagery that I would like to bring into my Digipak when creating it, as i think it goes along with the song that i have chosen, however i think i would add a tougher twist to this girly imagery to fit the song to its best.

 

I decided to research a digipak of the artist of whos song I would like to use, Jessie J uses a very strong but simple image of herself on the front of her cover, in a lot of her pictures she frames her face with her hands and her lips are always a key feature this creates a strong and confident image.

 

She has a Black and White theme on her album she uses white backgrounds with Black bold writing, her clothes,lips and make up are also all black this makes her pop out from the background and lets you know immediatly how confident and strong she feels in herself.

 

She shows her impotrance by having her name in a strong Gold lettering which breaks the black and gold theme under this she has her album name of 'Who you are' this is small and again goes back to the black and white theme.

 

This Digipak is simple and yet is causes a strong effect and forms an instant impression of the artist and her music, I think this would be something i would like to try and incorporate  into my own digipak as i think the simple effect of this woukd make it dynamic and stand out from other busier Digipaks.
