DigiPack - Researching Digipack's Covers

David Bowie's Aladdin Sane album cover is an incredibly simple one. However, it really does say a lot about the artist. The simplicity of it suggests that his record label have confidence in him. The font used is similar to the one I used at the very begging of my music video - formal and bold. The Digipack includes the artists name as well as the album name - in the centre, under the focus of the cover. This deviates from the "rule of thirds" whereas the words "David Bowie" do follow the conventions of the rule of thirds. The overall focus of this Digipack is the artist. David is the centre and by far the largest object on the cover. I hope to achieve this when creating my Digipack.

Adele's latest album - 21 is also very simplistic. The use of black and white creates a sophisticated image while giving us the impression the music in the album is calm and soothing. If the colours had high saturation levels (such as bright yellow and pink of the album by the sex pistols - never mind the bollocks) then it is suggested the music in the album is also fully of energy and excitement. This album cover also includes the artist's and album name - both a recurring theme - they are essential pieces of information that I must include in my DigiPack. In addition, as my single DigiPack is an energetic and fiery song I hope to also use such vibrant colour schemes.
