Digipak Analysis 4

I decided to analyse a previous students digipak. It is called 'American Girls'.

Front Panel

The picture on the front panel is connected well to the music video, this is because it has the band members sat/stood on the roof where they perform the song throughout the video. All three of the band members have confident body-language and seem to be making direct address to the audience. I think that this is effective, however i don't think that the font is effective for this digipak, i think that they should have had a bolder font that stood out more. There is also a parent advisory logo at the bottom right of the panel, this is a convention of digipaks which have songs on that aren't suitable for people under a certain age.

 Back Panel

 The back panel doesn't meet the convention of having the track-listing, however this is because there is only one track. Instead it has the lyrics from the song on the top right to middle of the panel. On the left of the panel there are pictures, one larger one of an American flag - relates to the song. And four smaller ones which are linked to the band or music video in some way. This is effective as it makes people recognise what the DVD is. There is also the DVD logo and the classification of the DVD, this isn't a convention of a CD to have the classification on it, however this is set out in a much more DVD layout/style.

Inside Panels

The inside panels are taken up by the American flag which I think links to the song well. It doesn't meet conventions of having lyrics on the inside, however I think that the flag works well. it could of been improved by making it look more authentic.
