Examples of Digipaks

Below are some examples of Digipaks including my thoughts and how they work well and promote the single.

The above digiapak is from the female artist Madonna. On the front in bright bold writing is her name with the "O" being a small world and just below is the title "The confessions tour" the tour was worldwide from America to Europe hence the image on the back of the digipak of the world with the featured songs on CD and that are also available on DVD format, with a dark black background and light colours in the font allows the digipak to be eye - catching and appeal to its target audience.
The above digipak is of Lady Gaga and her digipak named "The fame". The front cover is a close up shot of her face wearing sunglasses which on the left hand side have been coated with diamond jewels which relates to the word fame and on the right hand side the word written. The elements all combine together to relate to the song name. The use of contrast makes the digipak stand out and appealing.

This digipak is of Britney Spears with the song "hold it against me" The style of the writing definitely fits in with the name of the song and the photo of Britney Spears I personally thinks fits in with the song name because of her pose and the way she holds her head on her hands. Using the photo of just her as a background is a good idea, the image itself is light and with the black writing this would most definitely stand out.

Above is a digipak of Alicia Keys with "Greatest Hits" with many of her tracks that have done well in the charts and have no all been put on one disc. The image of Alicia Keys as the background looks good and consumers can clearly see it is her CD. I particularly like the font of the words "greatest gift" as it has got a nice free flow to it.

Above is a digipak by American artist Rihanna with the single "good girl gone bad". The front cover is basic but effective a dark background with the light around her body which makes it appealing of the light and dark contrast. The artist name is in capital letters which makes it bold and underneath in small lower case letters is the name of the single. The overall design of the front cover is effective and would be eye - catching and appealing to its target audience.

Conclusion

All the digipaks I have discussed above have several things in common on the font cover

- Image of the artist

- Name of artist is in capital letters

- Name of single is in lower case

From the elements above all of these digipaks are effective and would appeal to their target audience and I think I will need to take into account the elements I have mentioned above so that my digipak also is eye - catching and appealing and is effective relating to the song name and its lyrics.
