Research of other artists digipaks

This lesson i looked at other artists digipaks as inspiration for our own. The first digipak i focused on was Katy Perry's for her album "Teenage Dream".  She seems to have an obvious theme of candy within hers, as on the cover she is shown lying naked on a cloud made from candy floss and the discs inside the digipak are made to look like a doughnut and a lollipop. After researching I have realised that Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" Digipak is very closely related to her main single from the album, "California Gurls". The video to this song also includes clouds made out of candy floss along with, mountains made out of chocolate and lollipop trees, showing that she is keeping to her theme of candy. This Digipak is a good inspiration for us as we are planning on creating ours in relation to the video and themes from our music video.

Another artists Digipak i decided to focus on was Rihanna's for her album "Loud". She also seems to be following a theme within hers as it is made up from the colour red and includes lots of roses,
 including the two discs inside which are made to look like roses. She is lying in a bush of red

roses which matches the colour of her bright red hair. Just like Katy Perry, Rihanna's Digipak is closely related to one of her singles on the album. The music video to her song "Only Girl In The World" includes a lot of the same characteristics that her Digipak has. For example, within the video she is dancing in a field of red flowers, she is also shown dancing around a giant rose in the middle of a red field. Again , this digipak is another inspiration for our own one, because of its obvious links and themes from the music video.

I also focused on a digipak from the artist Adele, as i feel that her image and style of music is very similar to our chosen song and will be a good inspiration for our own images in our digipak.

Adele's digipak includes dark colours and focuses on the artist herself, it also creates a certain mood as well, which relates to her style of music on the album. I focused on the music video to the song "Make You Feel My Love" which shows the artist sitting in a dark room looking upset which relates well with the mood, colours and theme of the digipak. Our own video and song is very much like this one so this is big influence and could be very similar to what our digipak will turn out like. She is shown sitting in a very dark setting on a sofa, which is very similar to our idea of a couple sitting together on a bench.
