Digipack Research

Coldplay's Viva La Vida or Death & All His Friends
This digipack originally inspired me, due to Coldplay being of a similar genre to our band. Their recent studio album also included various pieces of artwork that was used in the digipack, which I wanted to include in my ancillary products. The artwork cover for their album was taken from Eugène Delacroix's "Liberty leading the people." The theme of the Revolution followed through the whole album, being represented in the band's costumes. Various lyrics surrounded the artworks used. Even though most of their digipack included various paintings, they still included a photograph of the band, a common convention used in most albums and digipacks.








Be Your Own Pet Get Awkward
This band isn't particularly the same genre as our band, however the use of colour is what attracted me to this digipack. The use of a white background allows the colours to stand out, attracting an audience's attention. This was also the only digipack that I researched that included a plastic case for the CD. This was also the first digipack that I researched that also included art cards, featuring information about each member of the band.














Belle & Sebastian's Write About Love
This digipack attracted me due to the effect used on the artwork throughout the digipack. This was clearly a link to the album's title as well as the theme, Love. The use of the colour pink reflected this as well as keeping to the usual style that Belle & Sebastian have used throughout their discography. This digipack also included a booklet, which featured lyrics and photographs (which also linked back to the theme of the album.) Similarily to Be Your Own Pet, this digipack also featured a plastic case where the CD can sit.
