Digipak Analysis

This is the front cover for JME's album 'Famous?'. It only  has one strapline which includes the name of the artist and album. Also a simple close up of the artist. This manner of production for the album cover could have easily been produced by anyone who has access to Adobe Photoshop. I think that this close up of JME is very powerful due to him looking like he has some control over his audience, he does this through looking directly at the camera and making no facial expressions. The target audience for this album would be from 15-24-year-olds. Along with this cover, all of the artists are on the covers of their albums and are looking straight at the camera in an intimidating fashion showing no emotion which is common within this genre. Also, the mise-en-scene of most artists is common as they are wearing casual clothes.

The back of the Album cover is a very simple idea which is just the back of his head which has the song list advertised over the top. This would be a really good idea for my Digipack but I think I could do something different from the back cover to make it look more effective.

I think that when it comes to creating my own Digipack, I could include graffiti as the background and I could do a mid shot of the artists which are involved.
