Group Digipak analysis

Olivia Smiths Ancillary Product-Digipak

Above is olivias ancillary product. I think that the layout of each digipak works well as it looks professional and consists of a constant theme throughout the digipak. the typography is very unique which then relates back to how our chosen music genre is unique and different from mainstream trends. I also think that Olivias extensive use of different photoshop tools like glow, Magnetic lasso and colour tints works well as it makes the digipak look more professional.

I also think how she has used a series of different photos of the artist for the digipak. i also like how the vast use of white is used to convey how this music genre is different from mainstream artists. I also like how olivia has used the glow effect to make the text stand out more and be more apparent to the audience.

Harry Chicks Ancillary Product-Digipak

 Harry Chicks Ancillary Product-Digipak
Above is Harrys digipaks. there are a series of different things i like about harrys digipaks. I think that the constant use of the guitar worked well as it helps describe the type of artist to the audience and also conforms to the alternative pop genre. I think that the use of photoshop techniques worked well as it looks very proffessional displaying good skills with digital technology. I also think that the typography works as it looks proffessional and conveys the type of artist as the white text conveys the originality of the artist.

I also think that how parts of the digipak follow a consistent theme whereas the front cover is compleltly different not using the same background images and colours. This is good as it helps to convey the idea of how this music genre always tends to stray away from mainstream music and fashion trends.

Adam Taylor's Ancillary Product-Digipak

Above are the 6 parts to Adams Ancillary products. On his digipak he uses a consistent colour scheme which relates to the artists favorite music instrument. The Digipak is conventional to the music genre as it conveys the different style that alternative follows whereas mainstream will have more more colors and show their wealth and success.

The bottom picture is a double slide with one photo on. These are used to convey the artists interests or usually to show the artist however in this one the artist isn't present and only a famous landmark from the city london is present. I think that the whole digipak in a whole is conventional to the music genre as the whole digipak isn't only about the artist has he is only present in one slide. I think that the CD cover. 

The final digipak that i had to chse to submit was four slides from Harrys digipak and one from Alans digipak which is the double slide. I chose to submit this one as it best displays the proffesional use of photoshop and would look real if on the shelves at HMV a music retailer popular with the public. Also the colour brown conveys warmth which is an idea that i tryed to portray through the music video. Also is conventional as it has the use of an accoustic guitar which is popular with the alternative pop sub genre.
