Green Day Greatest hits digipak

This is greendays "greatest hits" album digipak. As you can see the inside of the first page is green which is featured in the bands name, the colours green and black are featured throughout the digipak deliberately to follow the theme of the band. The digipak has pictures behind the CD of them maybe to create an effect or maybe to show the listener who they are. They also use bright colours to make their digipak stand out when they are on the shelves of shops, and to appeal to their target audience, they may use the colour green because the word is featured in the bands name.

The CD's are purposely made to look like records, I think this is because this is their greatest hits album, which is "vintage" songs that they have made from when they were first formed up to now and records could be seen as vintage as they were being used in the 20th century, I also think that they have chosen to use records because the band have been round a long time and a lot of people know who they are.

Arctic monkeys favourite worst nightmare digipak

In the right corner there is the bands logo and album name this is to strike the viewers attention, basically to tell the reader which band it is. The main picture is of a house, in of the windows there are patterns, which is meant to represent dreams as the album in entitled “Favourite Worst Nightmare”. One of the first things that you notice on this digipak is that it is quite dark, because that is the image that the Arctic Monkeys like to portray in their videos and their songs. This darkness is shown by the grey sky, dark house and street. The only bit of real section of colour are the windows which i have mentioned earlier on.

The back of this digipak is very simple. All it has is the track names on the back, which is not very interesting for a reader of it, however i think they have done this deliberatly because it is meant to be predominatly black, to follow their theme. Underneath the tracks at the very bottom, there is a bar code and that is all that is included in the back of the digipak.

Inside the digipak three pictures are included, all of them looking very similar to the patterns that were on the front, this is probably because it looks like the back of the house shown on the front cover, it is used like this to create an affect on the viewer.
