The Advantages of the Digipak 

Within the Digipak there is a colour theme that is used throughout the Digipak therefore it makes the Digipak look attractive , this will attract the target audience. Moreover this student has remembered to include barcode because real Digipak's have to have a barcode in order to sell therefore it makes it look realistic. The Digipak has use of images of the artist this looks appealing to the eye therefore if this was on the shelf it would make the consumer want to purchase the Digipak. The use of a quote is simplistic as a fan, may feel a special connection, to the artist, as this would not be included on a standard CD. Another important element this student has included on to the Digipak is a track list and it is written in a similar style on the album, this shows that thought has gone into creating the Digipak. Lastly from looking at this Digipak it easy to identify that this is from an alternative rock genre because of the use of dark colours and the performer is dressed in dark Gothic clothing Dark clothing is associated with this genre. 

Disadvantages of the Digipak 

It is clear that the advantages of this student Digipak outweighs its disadvantages, having said that there is room for improvement in order for this Digipak to perfect. Firstly it could be argued that there could be some lyrics so that fans could sing along to the music. Secondly on the CD the album cover and song could be written on the CD, to ensure that the artist is consistently present. Lastly the album title is written small and it is hard to read, this important element of the Digipak that the consumer should be able to read clearly.

The Advantages of the Digipak

The use of colour is effective is it is cannot be associated to no genre. For example the Pop genre would have use of bright colours and an image of the artist. However this Digipak includes neither , therefore it would appeal to the mass market because it is unique. The six panel includes two Cd's the majority of CD Digipaks normally only include one CD therefore this gives the consumer more value for their money because they have been given more than one alternative . The use of art looks aesthetically pleasing as the images compliment both the colours and the image on the album art work. The digipak has been constructed well and looks professional because the have thought outside the box and still managed to include basic elements of a digipak; like a barcode and song track list .

The disadvantages of the Digipak 

A disadvantage of this Digipak is there is no image showing what the CD would look like . There are many things that could be included on the CD cover a image of the artist or the continuation on the colour used on the Digipak.
