Digipak Analysis

Within my group, we have chosen to create a digipak for our coursework, so i have decided to analyse a few different album covers to get a few ideas for mine and my groups coursework.

As you can see from Pixie Lotts album cover, it is the artist herself with a seductive look which draws the attention of the viewing audience. We also get eye contact from the artist which makes us feel involved and want to buy the album. The background is white and the writing is small but clear placing all of the attention onto the artist herself. As the writing is smaller than the artist, this may mean that she is depending her career on her image and not her name or the name of the album.

This is Rhiannas album 'Loud'. As we can see it is again a close up of her face with the eyes turned away. The red lipstick and red hair is very over powering, but also grabs the attention of the viewer. 

The majority of the digipaks which i have looked at all include an image of the artist. The majority of these all are close up images. The names of the artist and/or album seem to be a lot smaller and less bold than the image of the artist. Therefore, my group will take this into consideration when creating our own digipak.
