Research: Digipak Analysis

For us to be able to create a professional, genuine digipak, in class we were asked to analyse so of out genres style of digipaks and creative ideas.

'Lungs' by Florence + The Machine is an ideal style of Digipak for our genre because it keeps with the dark theme throughout the cover and as you listen to the album, the cover and pullouts really begin to relate to each other. The front cover really gives a feel of what kind of music we would be listening to when we play the CD; kind of dark style of indie music, but also some brigter parts too, with the cover having some colour on it. As you open it, you really begin to see the darker side to the lyrics and the overall creativity of the band, the the same re-occuring scheme continues throughout the digipak.


'The Final RIOT!' is a 2 Disc digipak special edition of Paramore's Final Riot tour in 2008 throughout the United States and was Recorded in Chicago. It features all of the live tracks from the night and a DVD of the performance on the 2nd Disc. The front cover shows who is in the band and what instrument they play and gives a clear indication of the genre that it was created for; indie rock/punk pop. The digipak uses a simple colour scheme; Black, white and red. Also, the inside pf the digipak is images taken of the band on the nigh of the recorded performance and this also gives us some similarities in a way; we all play instruments and they're important indicator in our music video, which is also the case here.



You Me At Six's 'Take Off Your Colours' appeals alot to fans of our genre because our genre is most aimed towards teenagers as the digipak cover is brightly coloured, with a rainbow of colours plashed around the cover to symbolise the album name.
The inside pullouts are pictures of the band and random images that are suited for the genre. It is a very simple design and i think that will suit our genre the most.
