Digipack Analysis

In this digipack the artist is represented as a child with white fairy wings and a white dress, it’s as if she is represented as an angel. Angels are originally represented as peaceful and joyful, however in this image has her standing on a rock right next to the sea and there are filters on her hair as if it was flying in the air and the image is in black and white. This really makes the image look quite horrifying.
This is also represented in the use of white, black and red, red represents blood this illustrates the artist most likely to be punk in the critical genre. They most likely to be chosen to make the digipack look more scary to most likely match with the songs in the album and the front cover of the album which also looks scary.
The design of the digipack says a lot about the artist, the whole album is plane, it don’t have a wide choice of colours and images used. It is also layout simply, the artist clearly is not trying to attract their audience by following the recent trends such as a wide choice of colours and very interesting use of imagery, the artist wants to use their music as an attraction more then the digipack.
From studying the digipack I would conclude that the genre of the music produced by the artist is most likely to be punk as its quite emotional just like the album is designed, and in the common trend the style of the album would be called as ‘emo’, and their popular music is mainly punk.
The packaging is laid out in the most common way an album would be laid out as it is easier for the audience because it is always used like this, the main image at the front with the artists name and the albums name, when you open it there is info about the artist on the left side and the CD on the right. At the back of the album is the content of number of songs and their names, for easier and faster use for the audience.
The information given on the album is the name of the artist and the albums name, this also goes on the side of the album as this makes it easier for the audience to find the album in stores or their shelves. It also gives the number and the name of the song for better use for music players. And there is the name of the artist and the name of the album on the CD so the audience can identify the CD without the album case.
