2. Rihanna – Loud
The dark colour scheme
continues throughout the
digipak, red being the main
colour. This portrays love and
passion, especially due to the
roses relating to romance. Love
and romance links to the strong
facial expression of the artist as
her eyes are closed, and it
influences the thought of lust.
The artists lips are seen to also be in bold red. The outline of her lips look
perfect and could be compared to the shape of a heart. This could have been
purposely included due to the romantic feel of the album, and an underlying
personal message from the artist to emphasise that she is stuck on love.
As the artist is on the cover of the digipak this informs the audience of whose
album this is, along with her name at the top. Also, the title of the album is at
the bottom in capital, white text which contrasts with the background.
Although the back of the digipak is not visible, it is highly probable that the
list of songs on these CD’s are on the back.
3. Katy Perry – Teenage Dream
The first thing that jumps out
about this digipak is that is
busy and colourful which could
relate to the music artist’s
personality and music. The
colour scheme is bright, fun and
feminine which questions if it is
mainly directed towards
females. The main image on the
digipak relates to one of her
songs on the album, “California
Gurls” which could be a way of promoting the song. The two images on the
digipak are slightly revealing of the music artist, and her poses are relaxed
yet sexual, intriguing people and influencing them to buy the album. Also,
these images help he audience to know whose album this is. On the back in
the digipak are the list of songs included on the album. This is in bold red to
contrast with the background, however continue the colour scheme as part
of the CD disks are red too. The disks relate to sweets/candy, also referring
back to the same music video.
4. Oasis – Acoustic
The main image on the front cover
of this digipak is part of a guitar. As
it is in the bottom part of the guitar
it makes it look abstract, and
portrays to the audience that this
band often use guitars throughout
their music, also linking to their title
“Acoustic”. The digipak is basic and
simple, similarly to the colour
scheme. It tells the audience what
they need to know, which is mainly
the band name, so they know whose
Music they are buying, and what the album is called. The band name and
album name contrast against the background so that the audience notices
them. It looks as thought the list of songs featured in the album are displayed
on both the CD and the back of the digipak. This is a good idea, in case the
audience don't look on the back cover. However they are likely to open the
case, and they will then see the list of songs on the disk itself.
