- The document discusses and compares the digipaks, or packaging, of albums from three different artists: Mumford and Sons, Adele, and 50 Cent.
- The Mumford and Sons digipak features an old town background and suits to represent their country genre. It only features the band on the front.
- Adele's black and white digipak prominently displays her on the front and back to promote her solo artist image for her sad, meaningful music.
- 50 Cent's digipak intimidatingly shows him behind shattered glass and on a street at night to represent his hard background and hip hop genre.
2. Mumford And Sons: Babel
A digipak is a the
packaging surrounding the
CD or DVD of a song or
film. In this case its for a
CD, the most common sizes
are a square or rectangle
shape that just covers the
CD itself to make it small
and portable, There are
many different styles to
the digipak and they
depend on the genre of the
artist and what the album
represents. The
information on the digipak
are the artists name ands
the name of the album
along with the order of the
songs.
Mumford and sons are a well know country band
and there digipak represents that with the old
town in the background and the old fashioned
suitcases. The band features at the front of the
digipak showing their importance and there
formality as a band, due to them wearing shirts
and blazer.
3. Adele: 21
Adele's digipak has her
featured on the front and back
which is a popular thing for a
solo artist and a pop singer as
they want to promote their
image. The digipak overall is
rather dull and is black and
white connoting the feel of the
music she will be singing to be
sad and meaningful. The
conventions for this genre are
that the artist will be the main
feature highlighted on the
front and back of the digipak
unlike a band like Mumford and
sons that only feature at the
front and have scenery photos
for the middle and back.
Furthermore there isn’t too much
information on the digipak like the Mumford
and sons one only the name of artist name
and album with the list of songs.
4. 50 Cent: Get Rich Or Die Trying
Just like other solo artists
50 cent is featured on the
front and back of his
digipak but instead he's
trying to promote his
image in a different way to
the other two, he's trying
to be intimidating with the
class being shattered as he
stands behind and the
street at night next to him
on the back of the digipak.
Furthermore this digipak represents not only the
artist as he has come from a hard background and
there is a lot of meaning and story behind his songs
but it represents the genre of music.
