I have looked at digipacks as a whole, now i am going to focus on the front and back of CD cases.
Being the most important part of the digipack because it is the first thing that a person will see I will do the most research into this.
These are some examples that i have found of front covers on the internet.
This one by The Kooks uses light very effectively. it is simple yet you are drawn to it. the name of the album is written in neon lights a nice effect with a clear purpose.
This one by Beyonce is a different genre of music to most of my research, i think that it uses brighter colours to fit it with the nature of the music, she is shown wearing diamonds and is looking very prerogative, this is a typical style for RnB genre digipacks. Her name and album name is shown discreetly in the corner as the attention is wanted to be drawn to the photograph itself.
This is one of the Arctic Monkeys albums, the photos are bright on a dull background which allows them to really stand out. the album name and band name is written effectively in a writing style that suits the style and fits in with the photograph, it looks very computerised.
Razorlight are a well know band. they have gone for simple black and white, it shows the band members, who are well known faces and may draw people to the CD. the band name is very clear and bold. it is simple. they do not feature the name of the album however which is unusual.
This is one of the Arctic Monkeys albums, the photos are bright on a dull background which allows them to really stand out. the album name and band name is written effectively in a writing style that suits the style and fits in with the photograph, it looks very computerised.
This is another cover by Arctic Monkeys, it is a very famous one of theirs, simple yet effective, it shows the lead singer, he is smoking. he looks relaxed which gives an insight into the nature of the music and the colours are kept very plain also outlining this.
the digipack has no mane featured however the band name stands out with a bright background and a contrasting back for the font and it is used in the style that is specific to the Arctic Monkeys so it makes it memorable.
