Digipack analysis

Digipaks come in a lot of shapes and sizes. These can range from the way that they open up to the user and the way that they look. This Oasis album cover has a very saturated picture for its background. This means that the colours are at a high intensity so that they are strong and brighter than they were when the picture was taken. The title of this simply goes through the middle of the cover with other information on it. This is mostly wood in this picture and they made sure that the title colours contrast to the background.

 

This Greenday cover is very dark around the edges and very light in the middle. This has a sort of spotlight effect on the drawings that are in the middle of the cover. This seems to be two people kissing, this could be a representation of the genre of the album or it could be representing a story from the band. They have the band name at the top and then the album name down the bottom which is a very different layout to the album cover above.

This album cover appears to be very peculiar and colourless scene. The singer of the album has some sort of telescope device that he is using to represent the title of the album, which is the 20/20 experience. The colours that are on it are not very ranged because it has been put in black and white, but the contrast of it appears to be fairly high so that the details can be picked out of the singer and of the device. On the other hand the title is on the bottom part of the screen and is in colour to contrast to the background. This makes it stand out and is fairly eye catching.  

This album cover has a picture of the sea because of the album name. It is very block colours and has quite a cartoon effect when viewed. The title appear to be put in the top left of the cover which is very different to the other albums that we have looked at. The picture of the sea is very layered and has obviously been made using a computer application.

This muse album also has its title in the top hand left of the screen. This is much like the before one and I think the reason for this is so that the audience can see as much of the album picture as possible and still be able to easily read and see the name. The picture on this cover is also very highly saturated and has quite a bright and vibrant effect. This seems to be a medium long shot of 4 men sat around a table doing something that is unknown to the audience. With blue, browns and reds it makes it quite a stand out photo to others. They have put the black title in the sky as this was the brightest part of the picture and they obviously needed as much contrast as possible.
