The Kooks digipak

This digipak is The Kooks. This digipak has a colour theme running throughout all aspects of the product. This use the colour of black, white, grey and red. Red is the main colour, which is used for thye CD and smaller parts of product like some of the writing. The CD stands out more due to it being red. Red is a colour which is used to attract attention therefore this is a good colour to use. They have also followed the codes and conventions of the usual digipak by using certain aspects like having a list of their tracks and using pictures. A lot of the time most indie bands do not use photos of themselves so this differs them from the rest.

Michael Jackson digipak

 This digipak is of a famous and very well-known artist; Michael Jackson. In this photo of his albums digipak you can see that they have included one of his iconic dance moves done by him himself, wearing his famously known white glove. By doing this they are allowing the audience to establish who it is straight away. In this digipak it includes five CD's, each with their own picture of a different dance move that is known to be done by the artist, this also helps establish which song it is. You can see on the bottom middle, there is a little booklet which is likely to have all information about the record label, websites and addresses and information on the producers and other musicians who may feature on some of the tracks. This digipak is also likely to include lyrics  and a list of their artists tracks. Looking at this digipak you can see that there is a running theme throughout. Each CD is set out the same in terms of the font, colours used and style, with the only difference being the information stated and the pictures of the dance moves. 

Digipak

Digipaks are a special type of CD albums that is styled in a way of a folded book. Sometimes the digipak will include a CD as well as a DVD which are located in slip pockets. Digipaks often have a selection from one to four folds that will contain different elements of the band/artist of the album.

These digipaks are usually made of card which are different to the plastic material of normal CD albums.

Font

One of the fonts we are choosing between is this one shown to the right. We would like to feature throughout the whole album cover. This font is called Lithos. We were attracted to this font as its very plain allowing us to keep the background images to the album very busy and go as far out as we would like. The font we have chosen is quite different to most average cover, but we have chosen this as we thought it matches the indie band and shows how they differ from others in more ways than just their music.

The font to the right is called Orator. This is the second font idea that we are considering. This font would look very effective at the beginning of the 'Alone in This' video because its simple, allowing it to stand out but still not take the attention away from the video. By using a font that looks like its done by a type writing could add to the idea that its some sort of documentary thats been documented by someone through writing, this will go well with the handheld look of the video, making it look like the main character is the one documenting everything.

The last font is called Nueva. Alongside with the other two fonts, this one is yet again simple, however this is good as its what we are looking for. The difference with this font is that its a bit more edgy and unique compared to the other two. Our main character in the video also has a unique twist therefore this links in with the quirkiness of everything.
