Digi-packs That Have Inspired Me

Miles Kane - Colour of The Trap

This album cover displays the artist, Miles Kane, in black and white and then uses large, bright pink writing to contrast with the black and white, in order to make his name stand out. A simple yet very effective album cover.
It has featured Miles Kane as the main focus of the album cover to appeal to his audience and to increase his popularity.




Gorillaz - Demon Days

Demon Days by The Gorillaz highlights all four of their animated characters. By using black and white as their main colours it allows the main focus of the album cover to be on the characters, in which case represent the artist.
The font used is in capital letters and in white to contrast with the black background. By doing this it makes the band name and album name stand out to allow its reputation to increase.




Arctic Monkeys - Whatever You Say I Am That's What I'm Not

This album cover by the Arctic Monkeys displays Chris McClure, friends of the band, smoking a cigarette. This caused controversy with the NHS as it promotes smoking. By causing controversy it causes interest to followers of the NHS and even smokers in general, which allows the albums popularity to increase further.
Also, many young people who believe smoking to be cool or mischievous would begin to feel the Arctic Monkeys are cool and therefore want the album. This is similar to the effect that an explicit content warning on the front of an album has.



Eminem - Relapse

Relapse by Eminem displays Eminem's face by using pills. This is a very artistic way to show his face whilst displaying a background story to the album. The album is about Eminem's recovery from drug addiction therefore the sticker on the front cover resembles a prescription drug label, which has been prescribed from Dr. Dre.
This creates interest with fans of Eminem as they want to know more about his recovery, and fans of Dr. Dre will also become interested due to his features within the album.
The album cover includes an explicit content warning sticker on the front which makes people (especially young people) believe that having this album is rebellious as you have to be over 18 to buy it. Therefore they will try harder to buy it, even if they are not particularly big fans of Eminem or rap music.
