Digipak analysisBy Sarah Batty

Digipak coversAll three of these digipak cover feature a photograph as the background image.The left and right digipaks feature the name of the band/artist and the name of the album.The middle digipak only has the name of the album, but this is overlaid on a chaotic photograph so it does not stand out very well.

Inside the digipaksThe bottom two digipaks have rather simplistic designs. On both the inside left of these two digipaks there is a photograph, both of which look to have had modification. The bottom left image looks like it has had a 3D effect on it, and the middle left image of a sunset over a sea looks like it has had a filter placed over it.Where the CD should be on the bottom two digipaks, there are more photographs, similar to what feature on the left side of these two.The digipak at the top is the most complex of the three. Firstly, there is text and a photograph on the left side, and on the right side there is the CD with an image behind it. The image behind it features another photo which is similar to the album cover and it also has the name of the album overlaid on it.

Close up of digipak inside left

On the inside left of this digipak, there is a lot information which looks like a rarity for digipaks to have. This makes up for the fact that you don’t get an inlay booklet in a digipak. The text featured here includes song credits, rights, image credits and a ‘thank you’ section from the artist.

Back of digipaksAll three digipaks have a full list of album tracks on the back cover.Apart from the middle digipak, the other two have photographs in the background behind the text.These digipaks also feature the record label, the names of those who produced and mixed the album, the date the album was released, websites for the artist and record company, and barcodes.
