Digipak anaylsis 3















This six section digipak has been produced for the group "Raverhielfter" a German Rock band.

The main colour that has been used throughout the product is yellow. This reinforces the genre of the artist as well as the music genre. The inner right panel includes an image wich is an artists impersonation of the artist and the genre, incorporating the symbol artists representative symbol within it. The colours used on this section are blue, black and white. These are all presented on the yellow backcround with the centre point being towards the right hand side .

The inside centre has no image presented, just the cd tray which is black. This is a simple yet effective feature, which does not distract from the album artwork itself. On the inner left panel of this digipak the image from the inner right panel has been copied over, but this time a black and white image has been placed onto. This black and white image is a representation of the songs that are included within the album, including minimal artwork that can relate to the songs themselves.

The front cover of the digipak includes the representative symbol of the artist themselves, presented drectly in the centre. This image represents both the artists themselves and the genre of the music they are promoting. The artists name is presented just below the image, also central to the cover. The fonts used for this text feature are a graffiti rock style. They too both incorporate the music genre and the artists themselves.

Digipak analysis 2

















This is an examle of a digipak designed for the artist "Distorture".
The particular enre of this artist is Hardcore/Trance.

It has been seperated into six different sections usually linked by either colour or image. The colours used on the CD are red and white. The red is used to represent blood and pain, which is what the images also represent. The images are hands presented in greyscale an the only colour used within them is red.

The digipak itself is very minimalist as it contains only three images. Two of which are small and the other which is slightly larger and dominates two thirds of two different sections. One of which is situated underneath the slot where the CD is to be placed.

The specific use of colour refers both to the genre of the artist and the music genre itself.
