2. In comparison to the outside panels the inside ones
have a more modern feel with the use of warm
colours and a repeated pattern across both panel
but also the disc, doing this again ties all of the
digipak in together. Also the image that has been
repeated looks like a feather that would have been
party of a formal dress in olden times, by doing this
it illustrates a clear theme throughout the whole
digipak.
The use of an abstract image as the main
panel for the digipak cover, illustrates the
genre of music that the band belong to which
is indie/folk. By using this image they are able
to portray that they are of alternative style,
as stereotypical album covers include an
image of the artist. Furthermore with the
image depicting an old fashioned street scene
it is in keeping with the theme of the music on
the album, this is most evident with the track
'peasant song'.
By having the main image overlap across all 3
of the back panels, it puts emphasis on the
songs and the artwork linking in together. In
addition to this the font choice and layout
again gives the impression of a medieval
theme.
What I like about this digipak is that the band
are able to portray themselves and their style
of music without the use of an image of them
to sell it. By doing this I feel that it represents
how they are thought to be seen as an 'organic'
band as they are able to use album artwork
that represents the music on the album.
3. The theme of this digipak appears
to be dream like, this is as the
colours used are all soft pastel
colours, but also the use of the
silhouettes as the focal image of the
digipak with the incorporation of
what looks like flowers to imitate
the image of a 'brain'. This also
gives the image a science feel to it
which is continued on the inside on
the left panel with an image that
looks like a neuron. With the name
of the band being central on the
cover it shows the importance of it
but im comparison the the album
title its relatively small. This has
been done to show that the music
us the selling point of the album, by
doing this it reflects the band is to
be seen as 'organic'.
Similar to the Fleet Foxes digipak I
like the way in which the image
used reflects the theme of the songs
on the album, rather than a image
of the band to sell the album.
