I have decided to analyse this digipak in particular because it is of the same genre I will be creating my final products on (as a group)- Indie/Tropical House. Analysing this digipak and putting it towards my research findings will help me understand the Indie genre conventions a lot better; so when it comes to creating the final products in the construction stages of the coursework, I will have an idea of the typical Indie genre conventions.
There 2 ways in creating the product:
1. Digipak which are real photos
or
2. Digipak which are drawings, painting , photoshop
The front display present the medium close up of the singer with an emphasise on the facial expression of the singer and his outfit.
which suggests that the type of music could be arty, psychedellic and would fit in an indie genre
By having the album cover done as an acyrlic painting piece allows the CD to have more freedom and explore creatively.
Having Troye Sivan standing in the middle of the streets suggests that he is exploring or is on a journey to somewhere.
The cool and warm colour palette allows the album cover to have a mixture between
The filter that is used
Realistic painting = photorealism.
This would target audiences who listens to Indy music and possibily interest in art/ hipsters.

Again, Grimes’ digipak is arty and has an emphasis on drawing and symbolism which represents it’s artist. The drawing allows the digipak to be attention grabbing as it is like a ppiecce of art rather than a music album due to the choice of production used and the designs.
The colour palette of the digipak is very limited. It only consists of 4 colours which are red, black, white and yellow. When there is a limited colour palette it allows the digipak to have a tone which is very effective in communicating with it's audience. These colour gives the glimpse of what type of song the music album has. These colours are suggestive of punk,rock * , with a bit of psychedellic feel to it. The drawing of a woman who looks like a skeleton gives a sense of ominious to the whole design. But the juxapositioning of the hearts and flowers allows the digipak to have more energy as it acts as binary opposites.
