Analysing Digipaks

Jessie J- Who You Are (2011)



Jessie's album cover for 'Who You Are' is an example of an album which is very strong and effective- because it focuses mainly on the artists facial expressions and appearances. They have also used very effective colours like black and gold for the title. The gold writing for the title gives a thought that this album is very precious and priceless. It also gives the artist a "gangsta" look since her facial expressions don't show a smile or a sense of joy, instead it brings a type of "scary" feeling as you get when you see teenagers wearing hoodies. The gold writing also gives it a RnB style look due to the fact that it is gold plated. I will take these features into account, but we might not use style of the album title since our video song falls under the POP genre.





Katy Perry- One of the Boys (2008)

Katy Perry's album cover for "One of the Boys" is sexually shown, therefore it would catch the audiences eyes in the high street. She is showing her figure- which will attract the muscular side of the sex. The cover uses feminine colours of bright pink and baby blue- which symbolizes that this album's main audiences are females. They have used a long shot to allow the audiences to see her surroundings- which are also very feminine e.g. flowers etc. The title of the album is written in an "joyful" way which kind of brings a environment with happiness, unlike the one above. We will certainly use this idea, since it falls under the same genre as ours.
