In this task we had to do a textual analysis on a digipak from a band of my genre. 🎵 The band we chose was Primus and these photos are the back and front of their digipak.
Conventions 👇
- Barcode – for shops
- Band name – Helps promote the album and help fans identify it’s their album and what to expect.
- album title – Gives it a identity
- song names – So you know what you are buying into and maybe some of the song names will intrigue you.
- Publisher
- Copy right stuff – People can’t use your music
The digipak cover is Playful and interesting but at the same time the font at the top is mouldy, grimmy and Rebellious. The colours are dark so the digipak relies more on the interesting image to catch peoples attention. The Brand name and album name are very easily identifiable with the disgusting font. The pig 🐷 burping matches the name of the album ‘Pork Soda’ and it’s meant to be the main eye catching piece and it will make the audience make a double take. This cover promotes the band as quirky and out of the ordinary maybe making some people more interested and you can then kinda get the jist of what the music will be like. The titel ‘pork soda’ makes no sense how can pork be soda. The back is fairly boring so you can really focus on the artists music and the funny, funcky front.
