The digipak for Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds album has a unique design. The front cover features the band name in a recognizable font against a dark background to stand out. Gallagher's blurred image gives it a different, unique effect. The back cover contrasts with white text on black for the track list. Inside pages continue the scrapbook theme, with Gallagher pictured looking at lyrics pages. Credits on the CD case provide essential information in keeping with the notebook-style design.

1. Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds –
Digipak Analysis
The front cover of the digipak
is a unique one. In the top left
corner of the cover, there is
the band name ‘Noel
Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’
this is shown over a darkish
background so it will stand
out and appeal to potential
customers. The font used is
the font that Gallagher always
uses in his media, this will
make people instantly
recognise the media and
would want to purchase. The
image of Gallagher is blurred;
this will give it a unique
effect, something different to
other album covers and
therefore will again stand out.
The back cover for the
album is rather different
from the front cover, the
back cover is white, this
contrasts to the black font
that the album name and
track list are shown with.
The font used for the track
list looks to be done by
hand, like it has been
written on to the actual CD
cover. Also on the back
cover it shows what is
included in the bonus DVD,
the copyright information
and the barcode. The
images used in the bottom
left corner of the page, are blurred images this will show to the audience that
they may see what they are within the digipak, this will cause an enigma and
leave the audience questioning.

2. The next image is a page within the digipak, it shows a picture of the frontman
for the band, and who the band is named after, Noel Gallagher. It shows him
looking away from the camera, and towards the next page, this is off the lyrics
from the songs on the album, this is a good thing to include in the digipak,
because its what people will want to know, therefore will more likely pay the
extra for the digipak, rather than just the CD. The whole digipak pages appear to
look like they are all from one scrapbook with the edges round the pages looking
like they have come from some type of notebook. This is a good effect to use, it
could also tell the user that making an album could be a long and on going
process. The image on the left has Gallagher framed to the left of the page I think
this gives a good effect because it looks like he is looking at the lyrics on the
oncoming pages, like he is admiring his work.
The case for the CD has writing on the front, on this is shows who wrote each
song, played what instruments, composed and produced it etc. This is essential
information to have on the digipak, because it gives credit to the right people and
lets the consumer know who wrote the music they like. White writing is used on
a black background; this is a contrast to the lyrics page, however it still goes with
the same theme. Since it is the back of the front cover of the digipak it does look
like the back of the front of a notebook. The image used is very peculiar and the
rest of the images look to be pasted into the page, again going with the
scrapbook/notebook theme to it.
