The front cover of the album is the same photograph used to advertise the release of the album. It links in

with the title, ‘Lights’, as their is fairy dust lit up in her hair giving it a

magical look. The lighting in these photographs is very dim, bringing out the artists facial features. The

photos look very dated and almost like they've been painted. The text links with the album name ‘Lights’

as it looks like it is glowing.

The thing that stands out the most to me on this digipak is the font. The font is extremely large, this could be because lady gaga is an artistic artist and therefore some people may not recognise her in the photo as it is very out there and artistic, along with the other photo. The album is very simple, yet effective.

This is amore recent album of Ellie’s from October 2012. you can see that she has improved as an artist as she has amore

unique artistic photo. This makes her look more professional and shows that she has

frown within the music industry.

Released February 2010

The images used in this digipak have high saturation and contrast making the images very striking, especially the front of the digipak. The red hair brings a lot of colour to the photo making it look warm. It almost has a retro effect as there is a tint of blue in the places that would normally be black. Rihanna is a very famous

artist. Therefore, the audience will immediately know who it is from a glance at the cover. The photo where she is lying in roses reminds me of Alice in

wonderland. This could connote that Rihanna’s album can take you on an adventure. The red roses may connote that the album is about romance as this is

stereotypically what red roses connote.

This photography is quite artistic as it bring the main focus on Rihanna's face. On the photo where she is in the roses you can see that on the right panel the roses are larger and stretched drawing the yes into the middle panel where Rihanna's face is. They have managed this from the angle that the photo was taken from.The font on the digipak isn't very noticeable. This is most likely because she is

extremely famous and people would already know who it is. This thin, spread out font gives the digipak a classy look, making it look professional and neat. This is what I like most about the digipak. It makes it look very pretty and is pleasing to the eye. It is very feminine. The font is placed at the top and the bottom of the

front cover and is spread out. This creates main focus on Rihanna's face.Rihanna was known for a while by having her bright red hair. This may be why

there is a lot of red on the digipak (red hair, red lips, red roses).

The images used in this digipak are very artistic photography. They are very simple but she is wearing artistic/statement clothes. The font on this digipak is quite small. This is because

Beyonce is a very established artist and therefore people would recognise her album from her face. This digipak has a very 1920’s feel to it as the CD’s look like vinyl records ad the

images are in black and white. The artist is represented in a very sexual way. This appeals to the male gaze as males want her and females want to be her. This represents pop/RnB very

well as the pictures aren't too out there and they mainly focus on the artist.

The image used is quite artistic photography. There are high levels of contrast, making David Guetta stand out more as he stands out of he shadow. David is wearing aviators in this photo. This may be because he is commonly seen wearing sun glasses as he DJs around the world especially in places like Ibiza and Mallorca rocks. These are party holiday destinations. You can also see what his top says, “Haymakers”, suggesting that he is the best in the house genre of music.

The black and white style helps the title f the album, “One Love”, stand out. Pink is a stereotypical colour to be used in the house genre, so is yellow. This gives you an idea, along with the font, of what type of music it is (house). The font of the album title is like paint, this is quite messy suggesting that it isn't something like classical music and that it is loud and fun. The font of the artist’s name, “David Guetta”, is in the font that they always use. This is a font specifically for David Guetta as an artist.

The images used in this digipak are very unique. However, they link with the name of the album, “Only by Night”. Therefore, it works very well. The way they have edited the front cover of the digipak is very clever, as all four members of the band are on there making up one face. The

back of the digipak as meant to act like the back of the head. I, personally, think that this is very effective. The text font on this digipak is tiny. You would have to pick up the album to see who it

is and what songs they have on the album. However this can be seen as clever because the photo on the front may entice the consumer to pick it up. King of Leon have an alternative,

arena rock sound. Their photos represent their genre well as it is unique. It is a convention of rock bands to involve dark colours like black and they have used dark greens and black in their photos. Their is also a sense of night. Their album over is very recognisable due to their unique

edit to the photo.
