The document discusses and analyzes the digipacks of three albums: 1) Robbie Williams' "In and out of consciousness" greatest hits album, which follows digipack conventions and has a consistent theme and images reflecting his career. 2) AC/DC's "Back in Black", which has a simple black-and-white design that stands out and matches their genre, using older images of the band. 3) The Eagles' "Long Road Out of Eden", which has a clean, simple design reflecting their calm genre and shows the band from behind, going against conventions.
Digipack anaysis
- 2. Robbie Williams- In and out of consciousness greatest hits of 1990-2010 I like this digipack because its simple and easy to read. It follows the codes and conventions of a digipack by having the name of the artist and album clearly written on the front of the didgipak, this makes it easy to spot on the shelves. It also follows the codes and conventions by having the traditional trademark sign of the artist or just a image of the artist. Moreover it also follows the theme of water/waves and the colour throughout the digipack, which I like because it ties the whole digipack together. The inside reflects the title of the album as it is just a mixture of pictures throughout his time being a singer from 1990-2010. The digipack also reflects Robbie's genre of music which is pop/rock in both the images and the colours. Overall I think this digipack works well as it is simple but effective. It also clear and easy to read both the title and track and continues with a good housestyle throughout the digipack. I also like the insert/sleeve with the all the photos in as it makes it more interesting
- 3. ACDC-Back in Black I like this digipack as it is simple but looks professional, it also matches the genre of music which is rock/metal as the whole digipack is black and white. I like the contrast between the black and white as it makes it stand out, it also makes the track names easy to read. The digipack does not follow the codes and conventions when It comes to having the main artist/band on the front, however they do have there traditional lighting bolt which is their trade mark sign. The digipack has a strong housestyle which is continued throughout the digipack. The inside of the digipack shows images of the band however they are not recent images, this is linked to the media not wanting to see old people on the cd or any type of media. Therefore ACDC have used images from when they were young. Moreover by not putting an image of the band on the front cover it is going against the codes and conventions which makes it different from other digipaks and makes it stand out. The digipack also follows the codes and conventions of having credits, comments and thanks/acknowledgements in the digipack, this gives the audience a little more insight and knowledge of the band. Overall I like this digipack and think it works well because of how simple but effective it is. It also creates a good houestyle for the band and follows the codes and conventions well.
- 4. The Eagles- Long Road Out Of Eden This digipack is really simple but looks professional. There is a good clear housestyle throughout the digipack and the name of the band and album is clear and easy to read. I like the simplicity of the colours and images used in the digipack because it reflects their genre of music and clearly shows that the music is going to be calm. They have gone against the tradition of having the main artist/band shown clearly on the cover, instead they have gone for having an image of them walking away. I think this is effective because it goes against the traditional codes and convention of a digipack and that makes it stand out. Moreover it is linked to the media not wanting old people on media products because that is not what people want to see.
