Digipack Research

I have selected these album covers above from the post iv made before and other pictures that interest me that I personally think best show a similiar style and over all feel that I would like to use for my digipack and magazine advert. The similarities between the covers I have chosen are the colours used, the simplistic look and style of photograph and layout used for the covers. The fray album does not include the artist on the front cover which doesnt fit in with the other albums iv used but the lighting used and fuzzy look to the people around the album cover fits the type of style im going for when it comes to my front cover. The simple single shots of each band member or soul artist thats shown on the front covers are kept to the genre and the artists create the image they want their audience to see. The fonts used are simple and bold which stand out on top of the photographs and also contrast with the colours used. The two top album covers are very similiar by using fuzzy colours to make the back ground blend together but the top album shows a more edited colour which uses mainly yellows and browns that mix together well. The fray cover is edited to be blurred around the lights showing the effect of what the bright lights do to the surroundings and relates to the style of the bands music video that links to the package. 

The little mix album cover shows the genre of the band straight away when you look at it which is shown by the colours used as they are bright and they give a bold look to the band members as its shown as their background. Each picture of the band is taken individualy and put onto the album one by one which gives a good effect allowing them as much space to do what they want that best shows their personalities. I like the colours used and the style of the album cover as its divided into four, this could help me towards the design I could do for my cover.
