Unlike the Oasis digipak this one shows the actual artist, as I would like to do with my own digipak. This represents the artist, ensuring that the audience knows what the artist looks like so that he can be recognised. The same picture has been used twice, one for the CD itself the other on one side of the digipak, this gives a better, clearly view of the image than it does on the CD, it also ensures that it looks like the actual CD belongs with the rest of the pack. Having a running theme throughout the digipak, with colour, font, and image.
On the front cover of the digipak the artist is looking to his left, which in a way could symbolise him showing the audience the way to open the rest of the digipak, as though the artist is willing the consumer to follow his directions to open the digipak and begin to enjoy his music. The layout of the inside of the digipak in a way hints which order the artist wants the audience to look, like reading a book, from left to right, as though starting from the left, so putting the CD in and playing it, then moving right and reading which songs are on the CD and what will come on after the next song etc, then right again to ensure the audience remember the artist.
I would like to try and interpret some of the features that are used for this digipak. I would like to have a picture of my artist as the front cover, which is a medium shot, making it possible to have the artist in a pose that would make the image more important. For the CD itself I would use a picture on that too, as it is a good way of making sure even if the digipak is lost that the CD can be recognised as that artist as well as making sure the artists face is still seen and known.
This digipak for Oasis uses image to portray what kind of music is on this album, the use of the acoustic guitar as the front cover of the pack tells the audience that this in an acoustic album. It uses quite natural colours in terms of wood colours to interpret that the music is at its purest form of an acoustic guitar.
The songs are also printed onto the actual CD, which helps the user read where each song is before playing the CD in case the case can't be seen. It makes the CD look better than it would if it were just plain, ensuring that it is know that the CD belongs to that digipak, avoiding mixing CDs up with each other.
Like this I would like to interpret the kind of music the artist has done within the digipak. Ensuring that it looks like it should belong to the artist and their style. On my own digipak I want to show the artists actual face within the covers, as being a way of promotion to get the artists face recognised and known by its audience.
