Analyse of previous students digipak

Indiya - In my own words:

This was one of my favourite student music videos because i felt that it ticked every box that it needed to produce a good digipak. I noticed that the digipak consisted of a two clear and easy to read fonts, the font was not to big but a reasonable size for people to read. the fonts were not that much different from each other but i could see a diference. the images that were used are not taken from the internet therefore it was taken by the student as the image is of the artist. i liked the background of the image as it makes the artist stand out more and the attention is on them; a simple plain white background d worked well with this digipak.

I liked this digipak mainly because of the shots that was taken this is because photos were clear and in focus, her skin look clear therefore i presume that some sort of Photoshop editing took place as her skin was glowing and i felt that the black and white adjustments were effective as the same colours; purple,black and white were constant throughout the digipak and there wasn't too much colours going on. Although the digipak doesn't have a layout that flows throughout the digipak it still works! I feel that it works because
as the artist is in all the images in different poses showing different personalities to the artist; from a serious pose to a happy, sexy/seductive to a shy pose. Allows the audience to see different sides to the artist.

However i did notice that there was no catalouge nuber on the spine of the digipak but apart from that it was well presented and this has inspired me to think about maybe doing close ups images for my digipak as it looks more personal and attractive.

Stephanie Jackson - Rumours:

This digipak work really well. the colour scheme throughout the digipak is constant and its confusing. The images are very suttel and calm and sophisticated. I felt that it was a nice touch to have the artists face on the inside of the digipak smiling as it showed a fun side to the artist unlike the front cover as that image was very serious but still very beautiful. The advertisement was also straight to the point and attractive to look at however there was also no catalog number on the spine of the digipak. but overall i thought the colours didn't clash with each other and it worked just right. There wasn't too many fonts either.

I though this didpak was dereadful! and i shall tell you why. The third box of the digipak the image has been stretched a bit too much the reason how i know this is because in the second box of the digipak the artist looks slim. I also picked up on the fact that the second box had colour where the rest of the boxes are in purple. I felt that that specific purple didn't work well with the picture in the third box and it made the digipak look cheap. Furthermore i felt that the colours should be constant throughout the digipak not sections of different colours and edits. This just didn't work for me. There were too many fonts going on in the digipak confusing people. I also noticed that the spine of the digipak did not have the Artists name, catalog number, or the album name which i think is the most important thing because if people wanted to buy that album they wouldn't be able to notice it on the stores shelves because there is no information.
