2. Ariana Grande – Dangerous Women DigiPak
• I like this Digipak because of how simplistic it is. The album artwork is just a black and white image, which continues
through the rest of the album. I like how the ears of the image stick out of the frame, giving the artwork some depth.
Inside there is another black and white image of the artist. Both images use a bold black accessory which immediately
catches your eye (the bunny ears and the black gloves) . The CD artwork is also black making it stand out from the
white background. The simple bold font (similar to Times New Roman) is used to represent the theme of “ A Dangerous
Women”, showing her power. This font is used on the CD as well, but the colours are reversed as the font is in white.
3. Ariana Grande Website
• The Website uses the same style as the
album and uses the black and white colour
scheme throughout. It uses the “Dangerous
Women” font for “Ariana Grande” at the
top of the page and for other important
information.
4. Ariana Grande – Into You Music Video
• In the music video “Into You” there are many locations being used. In the beginning she is in the Desert on a
Motor Bike with someone, presumably a boyfriend/partner. Then She is at a Motel with her partner. The third
location is in the Motel Room. The final location is her at a nightclub.
• There are different costumes for each setting. When she is on the motor bike she is wearing a leather jacket
with jeans. When she is by herself in the desert, shes wearing short shorts with just a bra and a jacket. When
shes at the Motel she is wearing the same costume as she was wearing on the motorbike and when she is in the
nightclub she is wearing a dress.
• There are many cutaway shots from the narrative used such as when “just want to fall in deep” there is a
closeup up shot of them face to face, about to kiss each other, this relates to the lyrics as she wants to be
with him. This has a pink filter on it to know its not part of the main narrative. This is also used when the
singer is singing in the Desert by herself, the lighting is different and the pink filter is present.
• There is a variety of camera work used. Such as closeups on both of the characters faces. Wide Shots of the
main character. Theres also establishing shots of each new location within the music video. Theres also hand
camera shots where the shot is more shaky to make the relationship seem more real, and reflects the emotions
between the two people.
5. Ariana Grande - How are they Linked?
• The three products are linked through the theme and style used
within these products. The font is the same throughout all these
products. The album and the website share a similar colour
scheme of mostly black and white.
6. Shawn Mendes – Illuminate Digipak
Front Cover Inside Album CD Back Cover
This digipak uses the colours green and blue as it main colours. The front cover is just an image of the artist with a lot of space around him, this hints what the
music is about as it could suggest loneliness. The font used is very simple and subtle, not bold. In the inside of the album there is another image of him on the
same chair but this time the colour scheme is much more darker and he looks more vulnerable. For the CD the colours used for the front cover are the same. On
the back cover messy handwriting is used for the track list, making it seem more personal. I like this album cover as its very simple but effective as it hints what
the album and songs could be about. Also I like the messy font on the back cover, as it makes the album seem more raw.
7. Shawn Mendes - Website
• The website uses a similar colour
scheme throughout with using greens,
blues and black. The font used
throughout is the same used on the
front cover.
8. Shawn Mendes – Treat You Better Music Video
• The music video only uses 1 costume for each character
despite having many locations.
• There are 2 main locations. One is where Shawn is staying
and another is where the women is staying.
• Throughout the video there are two stories happening at
once. There are lots of cross cutting between the two
characters. There lots of matches between the lyrics and
the visuals. “Treat you better than he can” is often seen
when the man is hitting the women.
• There is a variety of camera angles used. There are lots of
close ups of Shawn and the women showing how they are
both in pain. Theres also a lot of tracking shots and shot
reverse shots used in there to show the narrative between
the two characters.
9. Shawn Mendes – How are they Linked ?
• The video is linked to the website and digipak through the use of
colours. In the music video there is constantly dark colours that
are used on the ablum cover and on the website. Also the
costumes used are similar to the ones he wore on his album cover.
• The digipak Is linked to the website through the use of colours and
graphics also.
10. Dua Lipa – Dua Lipa Digipak
• I like this digipak because of the colours
used. They are very bright, making the
album stand out. The use of the
blue/purple gradient quickly tells you
what genre the album is, as the colours
used are representative of the pop
genre. I like the font as its very simple,
making it easy to read from the
background.
• I like the pink CD as its different from
others and the design on it is unusual.
11. Dua Lipa – Website/Social Media
• The website is very simple and
complicated. I like the graphics as
they are easy to read. The font is
carried over from the font cover.
The title font is much simpler. Her
twitter page also uses the same
graphics as the album.
12. Dua Lipa – “Be The One” Music Video
• This music video has a total of 5 locations and a
different costume for each location.
• A variety of Camera angles
