Designs that have inspired my digipak ideas and my own ideas.

1. Inspiration for Digipak
Georgia Brandon

2. •
This front cover’s typography is bold and
somewhat eroded, fitting in with the front
cover’s style whilst also standing out. It doesn’t
distract from the front cover artwork, but is still
noticeable and readable.
•
The black and white colour scheme is
minimalistic and easy on the eye, but it also
easily catches the viewer’s attention as the
contrasting colours are bold and compliment
each other.
•
The front cover artwork focusses more on style
than the bad itself, using imagery that fits the
band’s style and would appeal to the target
audience. This creates an individual style for
the product and adds to the theme of the band
and their music.
● The disc’s simple design and contrasting colour with the digipak
works well, fitting in with the bold colour scheme that stands out
from the average digipak. It matches the digipak’s minimalistic
style, keeping the product consistent through every aspect.

3. •
This digipak features somewhat minimalistic style, with the main colours
being black, white and red. The white borders around the digipak makes
the style of the digipak look much cleaner, whilst the contrasting black and
red images are emphasised by these borders, helping to draw attention to
the product. This clean style challenges the conventions of the genre and
instead focusses on emphasising the individual style of the band itself.
•
The artwork used on the front cover of the digipak doesn’t show the band
itself, instead focussing on the overall style of the album and the message it
contains and is trying to convey to the audience.
•
The colour scheme and
imagery fits within the genre
conventions of the band and
their music, with the dark
and bold colours conforming
to these conventions and
further appealing to the
target audience, whilst also
fitting into the band’s
individual style.

4. •
The contrasting colours between the inside of the digipak and the front
cover work well together, the colours complimenting each other and
helping the digipak to stand out.
•
The consistent art style of the digipak helps to draw the product together
and makes it look more unique, providing character for the target audience
to relate to as it would appeal to them. More focus is put on the style of
the album rather than the band itself, creating more of a lasting impact and
allowing the product to stand out much more.
•
The imagery takes up most of
the digipak, with the text only
using up some of the space.
Even then, the typography fits
in with the overall style of the
product, and it doesn’t
overshadow the imagery
used, but also isn’t
overshadowed itself. By using
a typography that fits in with
the digipak’s style, a balance
has been created.

5. •
The minimalist black and white colour scheme and style of this digipak
works with the typical conventions of the band and music genre (metal).
This style easily conveys to the viewer the genre of the music on the CD
and is therefore more likely to appeal to fans of the genre.
•
The white text on the almost entirely black background helps the text
stand out, with the high contrast between the two colours making the
digipak stand out much more.
•
By fitting in with the typical conventions of the metal music genre, this
digipak is sure to appeal to its target audience and the band's fans,
making the product successful in that respect.

6. ● This album cover features a mostly dark
colour scheme, fitting in with the genre
conventions of the band's music. The
use of contrasting colours makes the
album cover much more bold and eye-
catching, with the artwork used also
standing out due to how much space it
takes up on the cover. The imagery that
is used also fits in with the typical
conventions of the band, linking to
their style and themes.
● The album cover doesn't feature the
band, instead focussing on the artwork.
Even the band's name is left in the
corner, making the imagery and
artwork the main focus. This puts an
emphasis on the band's individual style
and would appeal much more to fans
who are used to the band and their
style.

7. ● The imagery used on this album cover is
unconventional for the music genre of the
band, yet fits in with the band's style. The
band has often been considered to have
an unconventional and unusual style that
stands out, and within their genre of
music, this cover would look more
original.
● The style of this album cover is simple,
with the imagery being the main focus as
it takes up the most space. Being an
unconventional image choice, it is more
likely to catch the audience's eye.
● The colour scheme is very minimalistic,
using only black and white with small hints
of other colours on the owl. These
contrasting colours stand out as they
compliment one another and look bold
and eye-catching from afar.
● The placement of the text is
unconventional, fitting in with
the style of the album cover
and the band's original and
unique style. Whilst still visible,
it mostly blends in with the owl,
emphasising the imagery and
making it the main focus.

8. ● The colour scheme of this single cover is very
minimalistic, only using three colours. These
contrasting colours work well together and
allow the text to stand out even more on the
dark background, making it eye-catching and
bold.
● The plain black background emphasises the
focus of the text, ensuring that it doesn't
distract the viewer from the main focus,
which is the band's name and the song's
name.
● The colour used for the song title's text is a
mixture of orange and red, both of which
have fiery connotations. Together, they can
connote a number of things, such as anger,
passion, and violence, amongst other
meanings. This fits with the song's darker
themes and tells the viewer about them,
successfully conveying the song's feel through
the simple use of colour.
