PLANNING ANCILLARY: RESEARCH ON DIGIPAKS





Here is a three panelled digipak, by Olly Murs. I was quite surprised that as recent as this album is, that they had made a digipak for him, which just goes to show that digipaks are still important. First of all I like the colouring of this digipak, the simple blue, white, red and beige colouring work really well. They even match the artist's outfit that he is wearing on the cover. The fonts are kept the same throughout each panel, which work well with the feel of the album. There hasn't been too much editing/photoshop done to his picture which makes the digipak look that much more professional.







Here is another 3 panelled digipak. And again I was surprised to find PINK having a digipak. From this digipak, I like the contrast of the bright image on the front to the dark black and white image on the inside panel, even though they are different, it still works well and doesn't look out of place. The big bold fonts on the inside panels make the dark images stand out which works well for this digipak. On the front panel there is a mixture of colours and a stand out white and red, even at first glance, all these colours look really good together. I really like how the different images show a different side to the artist, which i think is a good thing to do for digipaks, especially for the fans. 






Here is a two panelled digipak. i like how different this one is from the other two i have analysed. First of all, this one doesn't have an image of the artist/band, but have relevant symbols in each panel. I especially like the gold and burgundy red colouring on this digipak, the burgundy is dark but at the same time you have the gold making it stand out. The font in gold also makes the digipak stand out. For my own digipak, i might make it a two panelled one since I find it is much clearer and easier to perfect.
