flaws of a digipak - Dan London

In class we looked at a mock digipak made by one of the teachers. In the digipak there was everything that needed to get to get a bad grade in it! all put together. But as a class we spotted the many weakness and few strengths if any.


Weaknesses (Album cover)

  • Font over the face
  • Four different fonts
  • The track listing is bigger than everything
  • Bar-code out of place
  • There is no spine to it
  • There is no apparent theme ( random bits here and there)
  • No colour scheme
  • Hasn't followed the the rule of thirds
  • Main picture is blurred - it's a bad photo
  • Dan is wearing a white shirt whilst having a white background - doesn't really work
  • The picture on the back is not properly placed - doesn't integrate with the rest of it.
  • All in all the PhotoShop skills are not very good and this comes across very clearly. 



Weaknesses (Inside album cover)


  • Incorrect spelling
  • A different colour scheme to the one on the front
  • There is a smiley face?
  • Inappropriate 'Thankyous'
  • Font over laps the picture again
  • Picture over laps the pictures
  • Again two bad pictures have been used and have been wrongly placed.

Weaknesses (advertisement)

  • There is a non-existent date on the advertisement
  • the record label has been hidden because the picture of the digipak has over lapped it
  • Caps Locks/Capital letters in the wrong place- Weird wording
  • Again different colours - doesn't follow a scheme

Strengths

  • At least a picture of the album cover is there- the only convention this ad has followed!
