The document discusses the analysis and design considerations of four digipacks. For each digipack, it summarizes how it conforms to conventions, comments on the design approach, and lists aspects that could be applied to the designer's own work such as use of simple and minimalist design, white text on dark backgrounds for clarity and emphasis, and matching the title font to the band.

1. Ancillary Tasks
Digipack analysis

3. David Grumel
• This digipack conforms to most conventions as
expected
• The artist name is included as well as the
album, which is a necessity
• The tracks are listed and it would appear that
there are bonus tracks too
• Other things such as the artist logo and a
barcode is also included as per convention

4. Design
• Overall, the design is very slick incorporating
pictures of the artist
• It is also very simple but incorporates all the
necessarry information
• I like the fact that there is no text over the
photos, this creates minimilism
• The font works very well as does the white
colour throught the text

5. What can I take from this
• The simplicity works very well, especially the
white text, so I will think about using a similar
idea
• The pictures with no text are also very nice so
I will most certainly consider doing something
similar

7. Mental Disclipline
• Again, this conforms to most conventions
• It conforms to most conventions
• Artist information is included as well as the
name of the artist and lyrics of songs
• Pictures are however limited to background
shots

8. Design
• The design is very subtle but clever
• The dark background colours work nicely to
allow the text to stand out and creates enigma
• The title font is clever and works well for the
type of band this is but may be a little unclear
from a distance

9. What can I take from this?
• I particularly like how the text colour contrasts
the background and would do the same if I
was to make a digipack
• I also like how the title text matches the band
name and will explore this possibility for my
design

11. Myth
• This conforms to most conventions and has a
picture of the artist in some form
• There is also a logo for the artist
• The track list also includes details about the
tracks which is a common feature on digipacks
• There are many images covering the digipack

12. Design
• The design is a little bit brighter here but
bright contrasts with dark, especially the
white bit on the man’s face which makes
things stand out
• There is a good range of colours which work
well
• The only problem is that the logo is not very
clear

13. What can I take from this?
• I like the range of colours and how they work
together in a subtle way and would use this
technique if I were to make a digipack
• I also like the fact that the white mask
contrasts with the mans face-this could have
connotations of good vs. evil
