DigiPack Inspiration and Analysis

I think this album cover is really good and the colours and lighting have been chosen work really well together. This sort of colour scheme is something that I think I will go for when choosing my colours as it is simple whilst at the same time being really effective. I also like the angle of the shot and the way it has been framed and placed to the right rather than just being in the middle. Also, the lighting has been carefully considered with the shadows creating a lot of atmosphere within the photo. It has quite a typical layout and font with a photo and the artist name and album title on the bottom of the cover however the colours and image make this normal layout more interesting. Even with a band on the cover I think doing something like this, without the band members looking directly at the camera would work really well in terms of our song and album.



I like the way the artist of this album has been coloured in but the outline is still visible. This adds originality and enables the colour scheme to be really effective. This has inspired me to think about perhaps having a blended out photo of our band on my digipack cover or just have the outline of them with it being filled in with a block of colour, or something similar. I like the layout because it is fairly simple, just an image in the middle and the artist name underneath it, but ot work really well here in terms of the type of album it is. The colours contrast so much that they work well and make each other one stand out well and grab attention. As above, this is a side on shot with the artist not looking down the camera. With the way the photo has been coloured out I don't think it would have had the same effect if the artist was looking down the camera so this works really well. This is a really effective album cover with a simple but interesting font and all aspects of this cover apply to the album and sell it well.



I like the colours and layout of this album cover. I think the writing in the background is really effective and is made to look as though they are her thoughts and this is emphasised by her facial expression. The shot of the photo is really well lit and is framed well. Unconventially, the photo is on the bottom half of the page rather than in the middle but it works for this genre and the writing in the background fits. I like this idea and technique and it is something that I am considering using. I think I would have the band members, similar to this, toward the bottom half of the page and then the song names in the background, or something along those lines, if I went down this route. I like the font chosen and the way that the artists name is a different colour to make it stand out.
