Ancillary Task
Calvin Harris
Front Cover
The album ‘i created a disco’ by calvin harris, follows the
‘disco’ theme throughout the digipak as uses bright colours
of yellow which connotes happiness and excitement and the
contrast of black helps add detail. The yellow casing would
help catch the audience's eye as is different from other CD
cases commonly sold. The style has been well thought out as
it links to the music. Calvin harris is very well known of
producing dance music which is energetic and lively, and by
incorporating this into his album gives his image a sense of
continuity as the style of music both link in with each
other. The cover also has a big close up of his face so
audiences are able to see his face and be clearly recognised,
the use of him wearing funky glasses add to the whole disco
image. Furthermore the use of the horizontal letters which
spell ‘Calvin Harris’ stand out as it’s fairly different to
any other front cover as he chooses to present himself
slightly different, it therefore seems very aesthetically
pleasing to the audience.
Back Cover
The back cover design is slightly different to the front,
which overall makes it even more interesting. As its seems
like a lot is going on, the top half seems to represent the
levels of music possibly the ‘beat’. This leads into the
track names which are listed diagonally, this strangely
angled writing seems to be present throughout the digipak
which therefore makes it considerably more interesting
which follows the theme throughout which is particularly
important or else it can become very over powering. There
is a small print in between the song listenings and the
barcode, which simply outlines all the copyright details
which isn't always of interest to everyone but has to be
there to protect the artists music, we will therefore
consider that when making our own digipak. There is a
website featured at the bottom of the cover which helps to
promote the website an example of synergy.Barcodes,
copyright small print, track listing and promoting websites
are all very typical conventions that would commonly be
found of the back cover on any album as it allows the
artist to be fully protected and be accessible to everyone.
CD
The cd for calvin harris’ album carries on with
the yellow colour theme, with the black
typewritten style font. This again gives the
design continuity. The most significant areas
of the disc is is the larger writing of the
artist's name and album name, as this is larger
than everything else and immediately grabs
audiences attention. The CD also has record
label on the right hand side of the disk, this
is for promotional purposes. The colour scheme
is considerably important within digipaks as it
marks a sign of continuity and that fact that
this digipak has kept the same colours helps it
considerably link them all together nicely and
therefore has a much more attractive style.
