Digipack analysis The Killer- Sam's Town

The Killers, Sam’s Town:

This is the second digipack that I will be looking at this is another killers digipack. This one is for their CD Sam’s town. The top left hand picture is of the front cover of the CD  This again has the same killers font for the band name. The is then a picture of a women and a yak. The picture is not in black and white this time but it is in greyscale. The colour of the title for the CD is again in red like with the last digipack that I looked at. This is something that the killers seem to do a lot.

The top right hand side picture is of the back of the CD  This as a picture of all four of the band. They are all wearing waist coats and smart trousers. This picture has the same type of colouring as the other sides of the digipack which is greyscale. There is then a bit of text below the picture which is the songs that are on the CD  This text is in white, with red numbers. There is also a bit of red text on the bottom line. Again red text has been used, but there is also some white this time as well.

The left hand side of the inside of the digipack is the next on that I will be taking about. There is just a picture of this part of the digipack. This picture again is greyscale. The right hand side of the inside of the digipack has a picture of the yak on that is the same on that is on the front of the CD. This is where the CD goes the CD is shown below the inside of the digipack. The CD has the same picture on the right hand side of the inside of the digipack. The cd is in black and white; unlike the rest of the digipack which is in greyscale. The most striking thing about this whole digipack is the yak that is printed on the disc, with the round horns following the curves of the disc.

Something that this digipack has made me think about is the digipack that we will be making and design. Something that we will be doing that the killers have done with both of these digipack’s that I have looked at is that they have a contestant theme to them. This is something that we will be doing like how they have the same type of font all the time for the band name. How they have a constant colour scheme and also how they have certain clothing that they wear constantly.
