Digipak: Famous Example

Famous Album Art Analysis

The Beatles 'Abbey Road' Album art is famous and popular.

The Beatles - Revolver Album Art 

Digipak: Examples- Adele 21

 the portrait of adele is incredibly emotive and captures a sense of passion and pain , it documents the beauty in emotion. This is enhanced by the use of a desaturated ( black ad white) image, this imediately gives an idication of nostalgia and therefore a theme of the past.

 The back cover is also quite emotive, after having looked at the front portrait to then see the rear portrait with her eyes open creates a connection between the viewer and the artist, by looking into the centre of the lense adele has made eye contact with whoever looks at the picture making an gesture of almost compassion and appreciation for having picked the CD up to check the track listing.

Filming: Forrest

Today me and shelley are going to go and film in the wooded area of east brook end country park. we have been waiting for a day were it is cloudy and dull outside and today is that day. we have waiting for these weather conditions as the low light and the heavy clouds help to portray the sad elements of the song, and the inability to know whether it is about to rain demonstrates in relation to the music the uncertainty of the future.

Digipak: What it is

A Digipak is a patented form of casing for either a CD or DVD. it provides a platform for further exploration of themes, inspiration and ideas through visual formats rather than audio. This visual stimuli can work with as well as provide another point of view on the topic of the artists album/single.  album art has played a key and prominent part in music history with many pieces causing contraversy, becoming iconic images of a time period or culture, and some expressing political views such as sgt peppers lonely hearts club band by the beatles.
Thankfully album art has continued into the digital age of music, however it seems that digipaks are destined to serve a more nostalgic purpose such as the continued production of records in current physical production, but it is clear that eventualy this will become unprofitable and will cease. Despite this producing a digipak provides a great opportunity to try and explore our chosen artist further. we are going to be producing a 6 panel digipak with the cd placed on the right interior panel.
