A digipak is a type of packaging for a CD. It is usually used for a special purpose, such as a limited addition.
Rihanna's Digipak
The first digipak we looked at was Rihanna's 'talk that talk' album.
The images of Rihanna suit her star motif of being rebellious. There are images shown of her blowing smoke out of her mouth and also one of her smoking. One of the images denote her with her legs open, which is connoting sexuality.
This digipak is also 4 panels which is conventional of a pop music album.
The digipak also has a warning that there is explicit content, therefore adults will be aware of this if they have young children who want the album.
The title of the album and name of artist are also included on the front picture.
Beyoncé's digipak
On google we found an analysed Beyoncé digipak. As shown the front cover denotes a mid shot of the artist and her name and album name written in white font.
This digipak also conventionally has 4 panels. One of the pictures show a full body shot of Beyoncé, will other smaller pictures next to it. There are also pictures in the background behind where the CD's are placed.
Our digipak research shows that conventionally to use 4 panels therefore we will take this into consideration when creating ours.
Also, it is shown that there should be a close up of the artist as well as a full body shot.
