Research in digipak covers for our artist

How does it contribute to the star image?

A digipack contributes to a star image by giving the audience an impression of what they band/artist's image is like in picture form, it also can inform the audience to what type of music will be on the CD. Depending on the front styles can associate different bands, such as  gothic font will associate to a gothic style band.

  I studied the indie-rock genre. Indie rock generally has more arty features to their albums than other genres, this is shown through this indie rock digipack cover:



Other indie rock covers include more old style, vintage, retro styles to the, as shown in this Vampire Weekend digipack cover:



This with the use of the girl standing with her eye line fixed on the camera, almost manikin like, along with the lighting, and the texts, makes a retro feel to the image.











Others like the The Strokes- This Is It digipack cover shows for a different modern style, yet still in an arty way:

 This image, along with the black and red text, shows a different style to indie rock.
















Therefore, it will attract the audience as they will be aware of what music will be on the CD.
