Analysis of Digipak

This is an example of a digipak from an artist called Myth. this digipak incorporates many typical digipak conventions, these conventions both conform and subvert to the genre of music he operates in.
  • As you can see the price is labelled on the front of cover, this goes against normal conventions which normally position this on the back of the cover.
  • The information of the artist is positioned in the middle of the digipak, next to a picture of the artist near the mouth insinuating that he is speaking the text.
  • The song list is divided into its own section in the middle of the digipak where titles of songs are highlighted in orange colour, underneath this is a block of text describing the song.
  • the use of colour is very effective as it highlights the name of the artist and represents the abstract nature of the genre he works within. The use of black and white used to dress the artist enables the title to stand out. 
  • This abstract nature of 'Myth' continues by the way in which he is impicted in photo of the middle of the digipak where he is giving the illusion that he is not sitting on anything.
