Print research- Digipak analysis

The front cover is very simple. The image is a very redundant image for an Indie front cover, because it features the band itself. Their serious expressions connotes a sense of seriousness in their music. This is something I don't want to do for my Digipack, because my band is more comical than serious. The colours used are plain, which is a redundant element for Indie music bands. The band name is positioned in the top, right corner and is small. It is entropic for the name to be so small, but it allows the audience to focus on the image. The font used is unique to the band, which gives brand identity. This is common for most bands.
The inside uses the same colours as on the front cover. This is a redundant element as it creates a sense of brand identity to the colours used. On the left is a long shot, low angle of the band. This is a simple image, that doesn't appear eye catching, which is an entropic feature. On the right side is a long shot, high angle of the band. The focus on the band is redundant for CD's.
On the back the entire focus is on the image and the songs are listed in very small text. This is an entropic element, because the songs are usually the main focus on the back of CD's. The image of the merging faces creates more of a brand identity and interest in the band. The same colours are used yet again as this is a redundant element for all CD's and Digipaks. Their website and signed name is positioned on the right. This is common in all genres of music as it encourages people to look on their website.
