2. MUMFORD AND SONS
– SIGH NO MORE
The colour scheme
running through the
digipak are
minimalistic, muted
colours
this matches this
images featured on
the pak, which are of
simple things such as
windows and a shop
front
The font featured on the front is
also simplistic and has a retro
feel about it. The band is mainly
folk, so the font matches their
retro/ country style
This page of the digipak is also
simple, bordering on plain. Its
just a insignia on a cream
background
The design of the CD
is also minimalistic,
the inverse of the
digipak page, black
with white writing. The
font is the same and
so is the insignia, to
tie all the pages
together
Over all I believe that Mumford
and Sons have kept their digipak
simple so that listeners will focus
on the music, rather than on the
band themselves. This is also
shown as there's no clear
images of the band.
3. KATY PERRY-
TEENAGE DREAM The front cover of the
album is Perry naked on
a cloud of candy floss,
this connotes the “dream”
part of the album title.
That she is young and
having fun, by being
eccentric. It also links the
album to her video for
Californian Girls, where
she’s in a land of sweets.
This video was very
popular.
The designs on the CD disks also
show this dreamland theme, as
they are bright, psychedelic
patterns. One of a candy cane
and the other a donut
The images throughout the
digipak show more sweets,
as Perry wears a crown of
sweets. This suggests the
dreamland again where
Perry is a queen.
The dress Perry
wears here is
reminiscent of the
grandeur of the
Georgian era,
again suggesting
that she is a queen
The running theme of sweetness is
continued here, although the cakes are
more mature and grand, as though ones a
queen would have. The colours of the
cakes here as more muted than others,
perhaps suggesting that Perry has two
sides to herself.
Perry’s pose here in
her queen like dress is
imposing, like she’s
the boss. In this
picture she's wearing
one the fancy cakes
on her head instead of
the crown.
4. LADY GAGA – THE FAME
The cover photo of Gaga is close up, however you
cant see her face because of diamond incrusted
sunglasses. Throughout the pak the shots of Gaga
on each page are varies.
As a female solo pop artists first
album, Gaga is featured on the
pages so the public would see
her and her brand. She has a
diamond incrusted microphone in
many of the photos, this ties the
pak together with the front cover
(because of the glasses)
There is a different bold colour
paired with black on each page,
this could suggest Gaga’s ever
changing eccentric style style
Also diamonds
on the spine of
the album
Gaga wears a skin tight
latex body suit, this is
selling herself with her
body. Something which is
expected of a female artist
5. TWENTY-ONE PILOTS Twenty-One Pilots are a duo who’s music
features many genres and focus’ on
government satire.
The singer of the duo suffers from mental
illness’, and the drummer with confidence
issues. This could be why there are no pictures
of themselves on the album. Also they prefer for
their fans to obsess over the lyrics rather than
themselves.
The artwork is simple with repetitive colours
of black, red white and grey. Dun has red hair
and often has red eye make up on when
performing. Whereas Joseph frequently has
his neck and hands blacked out in
performances and videos. They have said
this represents their conditions.
The colour scheme coincides with their latest
music video and appearance, where they only
wear these colours. This makes the album
easily identifiable.
The design
on the disk is
their logo
