Analysis of Digipak

Analysis of digipak for Razorlight

The song my group have used to produce a music video for was "Fix You" by Coldplay. I have chosen to analyse an album called "Slipway Fires" by the band Razorlight, because the genre of music is very similar to that of our music video and artist. I took pictures of the albums digipak. I have taken pictures of the front and back covers and the inside of the album. I saw that the front cover is of all of the band members in each of the corners looking at the camera apart from the person in the top right corner who is looking at the main singer that is wearing a white T-shirt to separate himself from the rest of the band that are wearing black and the background is dark blue with the bands name and title of the album in dark red for their chosen house colours. I like this design for a front cover and at the moment I am considering it as an idea for when I create my own digipak's front cover. Keith Tyler (the artist in the video for my group) is supposed to be an up and coming new artist and needs publicity as he is not yet known, which is why this type of front cover would be a good idea for my design. The inside of the digipak is in the same colour scheme of the front and back covers to match the genre of music they produce. The CD housing for the album is different from the rest of the digipack, because it is in a grey, white and black colour theme along with the CD itself being in the style of a roman numeral clock pointing to the forth hour on the clock, which I think represents the number of band members that are in the band. On the back cover, they have included the essentials such as the bar code, record label, written and produced by, a website and track listings etc...
