The document analyzes the designs of three existing music album digipaks: Oasis' "Acoustic" album uses a simple design featuring a partial guitar image and song list; Rihanna's "Loud" album has a darker color scheme and close-up facial image corresponding to passionate themes; Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" has the most vivid pink colors and images of Perry in enticing poses from her music video to promote both the album and song.

1. Analysis of Existing Digipaks

2. Oasis- Acoustic
• The image of the guitar is
artistic because it doesn't
show all of it and it is
suitable for the title of the
cover because it says
'Acoustic'. The cover is very
simple, but also effective as
it informs the audience
whatt album they are
buying. It follows a basic
colour scheme and it lists all
the songs on the CD, which
is helpful to anybody buying
the album as they will know
what songs are included on
the album.

3. Rihanna- Loud
• This digipak has a lot more
going on then the previous
slide. The colour scheme is
quite dark, and has
connotations of passion and
desire, this corresponds with
the facial expressions in the
images aswell. The main
image is an extreme close up
on the artists face, this allows
people to know who the album
without looking at any writing.
Although I cant see the back of
the digipak I would assume
that it includes a list of the
songs included on the album.

4. Katy Perry- Teenage Dream
• This digipak has the most
going on. The colour scheme
is very bright, bold and girly
with various shades of pink all
over the digipak. The image on
the front is similar to a scene in
her music video, which helps
promote both the album and
the song. Katy Perry appears
in many images over the
digipak, in various enticing
poses, to intrigue people to
buy the album. On the back
there is a list of the songs that
appear on the album so that
people know.
