Analysis of first Digipak- Kristine W's "The Power of Music"

1. The heavy use of green helps to emphasise the
futuristic, individual, dance music of the artist.
The inconsistency of the font used emphasises boldness of the genre. Note how the specific words such as
“POWER”, “MUSIC” and the artists name stand out. The genre is unique, merging various different musical
elements into one, like the font on the cover.
The image takes up the whole of the front album cover.
Therefore the ratio from image to text is larger. This is
because they want the artist to be recognisable. The
producers perhaps want her to be identified by her
target audience. The shot is an extreme close-up, where
we can see aspects such as her extravagant make-up;
which again further emphasises the extravagance of her
music.
The artist, on both
the cover and CD, is
looking towards the
camera. This makes
the audience feel
involved. It gives her
appeal as the
audience are then
more likely to
appreciate her.
On the front cover
image, the artist is
looking over her
shoulder/over her
collar. This is a stance
normally associated
with power and
therefore
emphasising her
power towards the
audience. It also links
to the title of the
album: “The Power
of Music”-
emphasising how
powerful her music
is.
It appears she is a dominant figure on
her album cover and therefore, this
could emphasise her “Power of Music”
as the album name suggests.
