Analysing Digipack The Killers- Greatest Hits

For this section of our research, we will be analysing five different digipacks which fit the genre in which we will be working in for our music video, as well as making the video as a group we have to produce a digipack and an advert for the album as well.

The Killers, Greatest Hits:

This first digipack is for the killers, Greatest Hits. The front cover of the digipack is all in black and white. Only the Title of the CD is in colour, the title is in red. There is also a sticker which is on the front cover which is in colour. Through having the title of the CD in red this helps to make the title stand out from the rest of the CD cover. The killer is in the same font that the killers is normally in on their CD’s. There is then a picture off the four of the killers. Which is in black and white, they are all dressed in the same type of clothing.

The inside part of the digipack is similar to the front cover with all of the pictures being of all four of the band and also them being in black and white. The left hand side of the inside is a picture of the band which then has text cover the picture. The text is in red again like the title of the CD on the front cover of the digipack. The text is a introduction to the CD  There is then also two pictures which are of their CD’s.

The middle part of the inside of the digipack is where the CD is there is again another black and white picture of the band. The CD is made to look like a vinyl. This gives the CD a more vintage feel, along with having the black and white pictures. On the right hand side of the inside of the digipack is another picture of the band they are all in suits; they are also in suits in the left hand picture.

This whole digipack has a vintage feel to it with the pictures being black and white and the CD being made to look like a vinyl. This has made me think about what we will do with are digipack, as we are doing a killers song so the digipack needs to have a killers feel to it, but not a copy of something the killers would do. We may do a couple of pictures in black and white for are digipack. We will not be having the band in suits through as we are trying not to be too similar to the killers.
