ColourThe colour scheme for this digipak is, colourful, bright, girly and vivid. This matches Taylor’s band as being girly and innocent , colours like purple and yellow give the impression of summer and brightness this can link in with the meanings of her songs being about love.
Central Image
Speak Now Album
Released- October 2010Genre- Country, PopLabel- Big MachineSingles- ‘Mine’ I have looked at the video in my research.
After looking and analysing Taylor Swifts Album I have gained inspiration Holly’s image is similar to Taylor in the way that she
is a young female artist, with a natural pretty look and sings mainly about love stories. I will try and use the successful
features like interesting images of Holly and keep the theme bright and cheerful.

ColourBright and Luminas colours are used which attracts the eye and is in trend at the time of release.
FontJust an outline is used allowing the background to fill the text, this makes the background be the main feature of the design and the text have less importance. However this is a successful effect.
GraphicsInstead of images an abstract design is used which includes graffiti looking text and splashes of colour this creates an interesting and eye catching background.
ImagesAs a digipak it has broken the conventional way of using an image of in this case the band, this gives the digipak a unique appearance
ThemeThe background fills the digipak allowing this to make it all link together with a strong connection the drawings differs and changes only the colour scheme and style stays the same adding interest.
Mylo Xyloto Album
Released- October 2011Genre- Electro, Alternative RockLabel- ParlophoneSingles- Big Hit ‘Paradise’ and ‘Charlie Brown’
This Album cover I have research gives the impression of a artistic and vivid design, this also fits in with the trend as it
uses bright colours and has an up to date stylish appearance. These techniques will appeal to a young target audience
similar to what I will be targeting for Holly’s album therefore I must create a stylish and modern looking cover.
RIHANNA Loud
Barcode
FontThe font doesn’t have as much visual impact as the images but the letters are spaced out and a thin font has been used. This text also is in a light shade meaning in areas its harder to read.
Track Listings
GraphicsOn the back cover the image has been edited to a less bright and blurred look creating an interesting effect. Images
Rihanna is featured in all images, as an artist she is portrayed in a provocative way. On the cover a strong central image is used consisting of a close up, this is then recognisable to customers.

Colour The colour scheme consist mainly of red this colour suggests passionate, power, love and a loud/bright colour linking in with the title.
Loud Album
Released- November 2010Genre- R&B, Dance, PopLabel- Def Jam Singles- ‘ California King Bed’ the video I have analysed and gained inspiration from.
Rihanna’s album has given me ideas of how to make a Digipak have a strong colour scheme with mainly red being used giving
visual impact, I also think the close-up images which would be a good idea for Holly’s album as this is her first release and fans
will then be able to recognise her. I think Holly’s album will need a stylish modern look and design similar to Rihanna’s.
BRUNO MARS Doo-Wops & Hooligans
Barcode
FontThe font size is small which draws the customer into the cover, the title uses a bold font that has the style of simple graffiti.
Track Listings
GraphicsThe digipak’ s background has a scratched and worn effect making it appear retro and a reggae feel .
ImagesThis digipak consist of no photos but illustrations instead, Bruno is shown as a small silhouette walking into the distance lead by a rocket. This is an unique design and has a edgy and trendy look.

ColourThe eye catching yellow is what attracts you first the black images and off white text is clear to see and links in with a reggae feel.
Theme The whole design is very unique and fits in with Bruno’s genre.
Doo-Wops & Hooligans Album
Released- October 2010Genre- Pop, R&B, Pop-reggae Label- Atlantic, ElektraSingles- Hits including ‘Just the Way You Are’ and ‘The Lazy Song’
Bruno Mars has a strong brand identity and this is shown in this design for the digipak I like the uniqueness and edge to this album cover, something I will take after
researching this album is that and how to addresses and portray this in a digipak.
