Digipak Research and Analysis

I have delved through my CD collection at home and have found three digipaks which I really like.


  1. The Black Eyed Peas - Monkey Business





The best bit about this digipak was the theme of the 'monkey'. It is called 'monkey business' and I love how this monkey is present on the inside panel of the digipak. It also features a picture of the band on the front, however they are posed in an interesting and unconventional way which lures in the viewer. The colours are dark, it actually looks quite traditional and old fashioned. The black eyed peas could here be building a bridge between old music and new music, representing how their album contains it all.


2. The Killers - Day and Age








The purple theme of this digipak really appealed to me; it looks dark and mysterious, just like the music on the album. The abstract art worked well to create an image of mystery, not completley revealing to the viewer what the music would be about.





3. Fall Out Boy - Foile A Deux






The front cover of this album is completley random; however it is certainly interesting! I think that it just generally conveys the theme that appearances may be decieving- you would never normally expect a teddy bear to be carrying a grizzly- and it thus advises the viewer to 'expect the unexpected'. I really like the classic font used on the CD itself, to maintain a professional look font really is the key.
