this is an analysis of cd covers and posters of my chosen genre.

1. Digipak analysis:

2. Digipak 1: Nymph: new millennium prayer
This album is very aesthetically
pleasing as the use of clashing
colours is very eye-catching and
the layering of pastel colours are
stereotypically related to fashion
and the popular trends in the
60’s. I would like to create
something similar to this for my
digipak as it is very appealing to
me.
For this cd cover the colours
used are very vivid and
layered to give a very “trippy”
effect which means it looks
like something you would see
when taking psychedelic
drugs. There is also the use of
animals as in the 60’s to the
80’s animal activists where
mainly people who listened
and created psychedelic rock
music, so animals where also
a big part of that culture.

3. Poster 1:
This poster also features the
same vivid colours and
layering of different vivid
shades and floral patterns
this is again connected to the
fashion of the 60’s as floral
patterns and animals are all
patterns that where used in
many popular clothing items,
I think for my poster I will
make it using the same vivid
colours and floral patterns as
it is an instant identifier of
this genre of music, so by
taking a quick look at the
poster you would know that
the genre is psychedelic rock.
