I decided to start analysing some CD covers more in depth, as again I though it would help me gain some inspiration for my own digipak. This Marina and the Diamonds CD is not a digipak, but it thought that the style would be useful, as we considered her look when deciding on our artist's image.
Firstly, I like the use of the font, which is the same on the whole cover and looks a bit like handwriting, almost as if the album was a scrapbook. I think that the effects on the portraits of Marina are also really interesting, and makes the artist look almost unreal, which shows at first glance Marina's style, with only a picture of her face. The tapestry background also gives the album an 'aged' look, which works with the album title - 'The Family Jewels', which gives the idea of something old and passed down.
The case features a lot of pictures of Marina, showing that this is her album and that she is the star. The photos all have the same theme which makes the cover look more 'together' and shows a running theme.
The CD itself is just plain silver, with the Marina and the Diamonds logo on it.
The background for the CD is also the same tapestry.
The inside booklet also features the handwriting font, as well as the lyrics for the songs and a couple more pictures.
I also looked at some various codes and legal things that I will have to include on my cover to make it look more authentic.
Overall, I think that this was a good CD to look at, as the styling is similar and I may consider using photoshopped photographs of Alice to create a stylised image of the artist.
