Designing a Digipak: Digipak Analysis 3

The final digipak that I have decided to look at is Mumford & Sons "Sigh No More" album. The first thing to notice about the front cover is that there are three high street shopping buildings in the background with the white coloured one postioned in the middle of the image which sets up the mise-en scene sceanario. The artisits can be seen standing inside, visually postioned inside making them look like shop-window dummies which gives it an entropic feel. As for the logos, they are located at the bottom-middle of the cover written in black font which stands out agaisnt the white tiled pavement.
As we look inside the digipak, someting that stands out the moment that it's opened is the colour scheme of the cd which, unlike the other images which are mostly white, the cd is compeltely black whith the logo being written in white text to stand out and the logo's of the distrubting companies involved located at the bottom. There is also an image of the four members of the band each looking out of a window and as there only four windows, this image gives the audeince a feeling of teamwork and unity.
Finally the image design of the back cover is slightly different from the others I have been looking at latley, as the list of tracks are postioned in a row format instead of a coloum format. There is an image of a closed window which takes up a third of the cover which probably represents the end of the album. We can see the distribution logos again located at the bottom of the image, and a barcode scan token just under the track list. Lastly between the barcode and the logos there are a list of aknowledgements written in small text.
