Designing a Digipak: Digipak Analysis 2

The first thing to notice about the front cover of the digipak featuring Gerald Clayton as the main artist is the main image is very stark with few redundant features. It only consists of a partially lit close-up of Gerald' face. The lighting enhances the textures of his face in a black shadowy background wearing a bow-tie which gives the audience a touch of class. As for the text, both paragraphs are written in bright colours of white and red which project themselves well making the text very stark and clear.
The outside cover leads the audience into the rest of the digipak where the layout treats the rest of the designs with a similar setting of black backgrounds meeting bright colours and the simplicity of the white text on the black background. The use of the same font on the cd encourages the audience to pick up and play the cd. The list of track are located on the back cover along with another image of the artist taken in black and white standing against part of a house made of stone with a window to emphasis the genre. The angle detail of this shot emphasises the structure of the rough stone texture which is highlighted to our face but his clothing is impossible to see due to the lighting and the name Two Shade is a metaphor for the imagery.
