I have researched a number of digipaks to look at the styles used by female artists. This has given me some ideas that I'd like to include in my own digipak.
Album cover
- The solo artist is usually the main focus, image not always centred, leaving space for text
- Simple or on location backgrounds used in photography
- Very posed shots to portray dominance in the industry
- Little text used, just artist name and album title - sometimes using the artist signature
- Limited colour palette used - for example, duo-tones, black and white photography with contrasting text
Album back - tracklist
- More artist photography - sometimes showing the artist from the back
- Track listing, often text wrapped around the artist image
- Barcode to help at point of sales - no standard positioning
- Record label logo and date of issue
- Limited colour palletes to match album cover
- No standard on whether text is featured on the right, left or centred
Booklet back
- More stylised photography, often closeup shots of artist
- Limited or no text included, more space for creating imagery
- Same limited colour palettes to blend with album cover
- Simplistic designs, focus on the artist
CD design
- More simple designs than the booklets
- Patterns and graphics used rather than photography
- Limited text - artist name, album title and sometimes track listing
- Limited colour palettes consistent with rest of the digipak
