Analysis of 3 digipaks

Analysis of 3 digipaks that relate to my digipak

The artist my digipak relates to is Sandi Thom due to using the song "wish i was a punk rocker" 

Below are 3 other artist i believe relate to the genre of my artist which goes well with my pop video 

  

This digipak is from the Oasis - Acoustic album, its from the same genre but is very different from the Sandi Thom digipak. Firstly unlike the Sandi Thom digipak this one has no image or photograph of the artist. However is uses nice bright colors like the Sandi Thom cover. In my own digipak i am also thinking to use bright color. I would like to use a color theme instead of randomly placing colors on my digipak. I believe it is important to pick colors wisely so the digipak can have a nice flow to it, meaning the color should relate to the text as well as the images. They should all compliment each other well in order to create a attractive digipak.

  

Duffy is an artist also of the same genre to my music video. Her digipak consist an image of her self. I am most definitely going to place an image/photograph of the artist on my digipak when designing it. I believe if there is an image of the artist then the audience can automatically see what this CD cover is about and could also relate to the artist. This can be done in various ways, some audience will obviously buy the album due to liking the music and others will buy it to follow a fashion trend. So by adding an images of what the artist looks like can get more people to buy the product and it would be successful.

Ladytron is a band that is from the same genre but the way the digipak is represented is very different to the rest. By looking at this cover i would not expect them to be a band. My instant thought is this artist is probably a female solo singer, due to the red and gray flower. But in fact Ladytron is a band that consists of two female and two male artists. Its very unclear to understand what the band is actually about. However the placement of the graphic design and text are very well placed. It doesn't look messy and all over the place. It looks very professional and neat. this is something i am going to take into consideration when designing my digipak. My digipak like the Ladytron digipak must look neat in order for it to be attractive.  

Things i can take into consideration when designing my own digipak:

• by looking at other digipaks from artists of the same genre i can create one similar that will attract audience that like the genre i am working around 
• good use of color
• good of clear text that is eye catching and understanding 
• good use of layout
• no stretched images or photos
