Artists digipacks

1) Britney Spears



In the picture you can see Britney Spears' digipack for he album 'female fatale'. I have chosen to look at this digipack because Britney Spears was considered to be one of the most popular stars around around the time when digipacks where most popular. I will look to identify and analyse some key aspects. One of these is the pictures used, and in this case it is mainly of Britney herself, posing looking 'sexy' which can link back to one of Andrew Goodwin's theories, that we can try to sell music through sex appeal, as well as often showing the women body. Moreover on the back of the digipack there is a list of tracks on the album and their number; useful information for the consumer as they could see the songs while identifying which number they are as they use their CD players. However apart from those aspects their is no other information or writing offered on this specific digiack, showing that is it in fact very basic, perhaps as it was one the earlier ones.


2) Radio head


Here is the special digipack for Radio heads album 'In rainbows'. I have chosen to look at this digipack as its rather unique compared to a vast majority which just has the singer or group themselves of the front. I will also look to identify and analyse key aspects of this digipack just like I did in the previous one. There are no real images shown on the digipack, however on the front cover there is colourful writing on the front. This is unlike the previous cover which shows the artist as they try to show the individual in a good light, whereas the group decided to choose this cover with a range of colour as it reflects the rainbow. Other information included in the digipack are the tracks on the CD.
