2. The CD disk has been made to look fun and excitable to
resemble the genre of pop, as it is fun and creative. However
this looks like it is targeted at younger audience of around
about 11years old boys as it has colours and an image which
is more appropriate for that age group, as the colours used;
blues, greens and oranges represent that the target audience
is boys, as they are manly colours.

bursting with bright colours, which catches the audience’s
eye, as they contrast against the dark outer space theme on
the opposite side. The target audience for this digipak is
teenage boys, as the CD cover is a high angled cartoon shot of
a mid/higher teenager’s bedroom, as it has cigarettes and
beer bottles on the floor. As the target audience, the teenage
male species see the cover they will instantly want to buy it,
as they will want to have a bedroom like it. As well the title
“the boy who knew too much” could be related to them as
they will relate it to themselves, as they could be that boy.
The back of the digipak has been taken from the boys walls,

album is like him, is out of this world. The use of the yellow
has been used to contrast out of the dark background, to
show that the album is full of energy and light, like the genre
of the music, pop.

coloured gold to made it look like it is actual gold, to foreshow that his is royal as gold is known for wealth and success, but also linked with divinity
and gods, which can be related to him being the “king of pop” as people see him in his own god like figure as he is an inspiration which people say he
has changed music in his own way.

foreshows that he is one of the best performers live and this is resembles on the cover as he it has been placed within the iconic images of him, and as
they are brightly coloured they represent that he was there to make people excited and fun when they hear his music and see him live. As well he is
contrasted on the white background as it makes him the main focus of the CD. As well it looks heavenly and magical as well it has a smoky light around him to
convey that he is in heaven now, this is emphasise at the pose which he is doing as it makes him looks like an angel with the way he has his arms up in the air.
