Kanye West- Graduation digipak Kanye Wests digipak is made up of images of cartoons which almost tell a story throughout each page. The images lead on from the front cover to the inside of the digipak which gives a continuous style for his album. There is little writing on his digipak as there is none on the inside cover at all although there are slots where there may be booklets with text on such as lyrics. There is also a slot on the inside where the cd itself is kept which isn’t as secure as having a separate plastic compartment for it.

The front cover/ the inside of the digipak also relates to the art work that is printed onto the cd as the main image shown throughout is of a bear. Kanye West himself is not shown at all on the digipak showing that his image isn’t very important compared to his music. The bright bold colors of the cartoons represent the R&B genre of his music as it is quite graphic and dark in parts.

In another digipak by Kanye West the style and colors are again continuous throughout. In this album it also comes with a free poster of the iconic bear he uses in a few of his albums which could show he is aiming his music at a particular audience.

Rihanna- Talk that talk digipak Rihannas digipak is again like the other female artists I have looked at as her style through out is very consistent as she has kept the same color scheme and style throughout. Also she is the main selling point of the album as almost every page has an image of her on it showing her look and the way she is presented is very important for her.

Through this digipak the theme is in the style of a newspaper as it is in black and white, the images are quite faded and the way the text is layed out is in the style of a newspaper and how the text would be presented with large subheading and small printed text. This shows that Rihanna might like the idea or want people to talk about her a lot as she in all the newspapers and magazines, this is also represented by the album title “talk that talk” as she wants to be talked about or don’t care if people do.

Florence and the machine- digipak

The Florence and the machine digipak is very centred around her like most pop artists that are female it is all about the looks of the person. This is presented by several images of her through out the digipak almost on every page. Just like other female artists albums I have looked out the theme and look is very consistent through out as all images relate as do the colours such as her being in a home environment.

What I really like about this digipak is how the images on each page take up all room so it makes it clear that she is the selling point also so there are no random gapes and spaces. I also like the lay out of the song titles being in the centre of the digipak and the images being either side because it helps draw a person to the songs more other then them being at the end for example.
