1. DIGIPAK & POSTER ANALYSIS
Aaron Cork

2. The colour scheme is a mix
between faded grey and
white, they are very soft
colours that also are subtle
enough to make the album
cover look very professional
and slick.
The text included is very traditional for this
band so I think it is used so the fans
recognise who they are
The text is very clean and
simple with a slight boldness
making it very easy to read.
This may have potentially been
so the album is easy to read at
a distance such as on a shelf.
I think the grey colour scheme
connotes that the album is
calm and relaxing with nothing
to outrageous to expect.
The pose of the band also
reflects this as they are sat
down leaning against a wall
‘chilling’
Strengths
One huge strength for me is that
although the colour scheme is
quite dark and plain they have
manages to show the shadows of
the figures which is hard to create
because naturally they will want to
blend in with the background
colours
Main image – On the cover the band members are centred and
cover the most space this helps credit them for having
created/produced the album.
Their body shapes are collaged with random and glowing
An improvement I would make would be to leave
the faces of the artists uncovered, this is because
generally music videos of Drum & Bass songs
don’t show the artists so I think they would gain
more publicity if they showed their faces.

3. The colour scheme of the
front is continued around
to the back making is a
consistent colour. I
definitely dislike the back
cover more however
because I think it’s a bit
to plain.
The font is just the names of the
songs on the album and any
producer/copyright text
I dislike the font used here
because I think it is
unaffected and doesn’t stand
out enough compared to the
background and I think it
would look better the darker
the font colour is.Here is a very tiny unnoticeable
image of the bands logo, I think
it should be emphasised a lot
more and could be made bigger
to cover some of the empty
space on the back cover
Overall apart from the font I
really like the back cover, I
think the colours reflect
empty space we can use to
think, it reflects mindfulness
and peace
A barcode is compulsory in all CD
covers however where it is placed is
effective because it kind of
underlines everything above
keeping within the theme of clean.

4. This is a poster
advertising the
‘RECOGNISE’ album by
Fred v & Grafix
The theme is identical to
the album cover because
they want it to be
recognised and
associated with the
album
Weakness
The poster doesn’t say
when the album is out
meaning fans cant plan
to buy it in advance.
