Digipack Analysis

The digipack that I have decided to analyse was an album by The XX, this is because it fits the indie genre that we are researching. The image shows two different versions of The XX's digipack, both have four panels which is the most common used for albums. The colour scheme is very simple with only two colours being used.


On the first pane of the digipack (far left) it is completely black with an 'X' that has been cut out of the card, the X has been used numerous times on the pack because the X is a symbolic image that is always used for the band so that everyone recognised their merchandise. On the second pane (right hand side) the background is also black, along with the CD, however, the 'X' on this side is white and significantly stands out compared to the rest of the digipack. 
               
This is the front of the digipack album cover (shown to the left) is very simple and this could be seen as a reflection of the music the band produce as it is calm and not over complicated. I like the overall design of the album because of it's simplicity I believe it is effective, stands out and works well.
