Analysis of Christina Aguilera digipack cover
These pictures are taken from the Christina Aguilera album 'stripped'. This artist would be described in the genre 'pop' which is the same as 'Lily Allen'. In researching this album we hope to achieve an idea of how a cover should look like in this genre. This cover is effective because it is plainly bold. It doesn't seem to try and grab your attention as much as some others in the genre with bunting colours but seems already established.
The black and white photography used make a more artistic image and suggest creativity. In fact the colours used in pop are normally so vibrant that a greytone actually stands out yet still connecting with the older more adult audience.
The Cd is a plain black with the tittle and artist name written on the top in a relitivly small font. This image ties in with the idea of the album of being 'stripped' to the bear essentials and works well.
The back cover uses a small font again with a large image. The contrast makes it seem plainer aswell as the greytone which is found throughout. The picture quality is good though so it reflects the artists ambitions

This cover is taken from Britney spears' 'Circus' album. It is evident that she has used the theme of a circus in her image here. The typography is typical of this theme with the red and yellow colours we associate with a circus tent. There is also stars around the edge which emphisise this all american circus theme. The curtain used for a background is also a prop used in the circus although it is gold here which adds some femininity to the image. Aswell as the feminine pink dress which is found commonly in female pop artists. The artists pose is playful yet suggestive and somewhat reminicent of Maralyn Monroe to possibly introduce more glamour into the image. This is a contrasting cover to the Christina Aguielera cover which shows that there is some degree of variance between artists images/look.
Simerly the two artists both use themeselves in the covers of the digipacks. This makes the cd more identifiable and is a technique i may use in my own design.
