Digipak research

I like this album cover by 'bad religion' it could fit the genre of my work as it is showing religion, which is heavily related to the R&B genre. It also shows class, the person on the front is praying and wearing a suit, this will also fit my genre because R&B artists also have to look very smart and attractive, they like to show of their wealth, and one way of doing this could be to wear a suit. The flag in the background shows where the artist is from and this could also be used to show what nationality he is, and a little to their background.

I really like the Jay-Z and Kanye west watch the throne album, and album cover, it is a very unique idea. to begin with i like the fact it has numerous sides on the album, instead of a boring one side an average cd case has. I also really like the colours used in it. It has metalic blacks and silvers used which helps show the 'wild' side, they have been shown to look like wild cats, (tigers) and even the CD and CD holder has black tiger print on it. the american Flag appears again and is the only picture where it has colour on, this still being in a metalic colour which i think looks very affective and allows the whole case to stand out. The outside of the case is also very afective. It is a pattern in a metalic gold  on all sides, which most certainly catches your eye.


The Paramore Riot album cover is also a very, very affective album cover, it has the album name over, and over again in a handwritten font making it look like almost a doodle book of some sort. The orange font allows the whole cover to stand out and is also affective because of the famous 'orange' hair the lead singer, Hayley Williams has, linking the two. The Riot album work is again very unique and affective.




I also really like these fonts and covers. They are all very basic but also very affective. the red box with white writting is very noticeable and when used on a plain black background or black and white image it looks very good and effective. I really like this effect and look forward to testing it out on my album work
