Blog 15; Digipak and Magazine Advert

A digipak typicaly consists of a small folder like CD. It has folds which seperate the Ad case from the album. It also has the typical plastic trays for the actuall CD and so forth. This tray, however, doesnt get in the way of any album art that is displayed on the cardboard panels. This is a much nicer way to present the album and also looks very professional.

The typical Digipak would include;
 -Photos of the artist/band
-a track list including credits
-a dick impression where the CD would sit in the case
-any information the band might want to add about themselves for fans.
-Barcode
-other references to other work/signatures/special edition information

Examples of Album Art

 

 Beyonce

-This album art shows her two sides. 

-Black and white shows it may be a serious album 

-Using contrast text to attract audience

All Time Low

-much more fun, less serious

-teen attraction using colours and silhouette teens

-light hearted

-bold black writing

-summer colours- nostalgic?

Both of these are good examples of Album arts as they are two very different types of music, they represent different areas of the industry.
