Digipak 3- Imagine Dragons

Imagine Dragons - "Night Visions"


This CD front cover, for the band Imagine Dragons, is very simple. It puts the focus on one person. Many bands will put their front cover as an image of all band members but they have gone in a different direction from this. The simplicity of the one person in the picture means that the audience doesn't have too much to look at and is not so full on. Although the colours of all elements of the digipak are desaturated, there is purple on the front cover which is then continued to the CD itself. We believe it is a good idea to introduce continuity for our digipak so that it is easily identifiable in relation to our music video. 

The back cover of Imagine Dragon's album is kept simple with just a simple list of the songs. The background is black and the font is white which causes it to stand out a lot. This is the same for the front of the CD and the same font is used, again showing the continuity of the piece. All the information that you would expect to see included within a digipak is found on the back cover of this album. We believe this is effective as it prevents the front cover from being crowded and we would probably do this ourselves. As a consumer of this CD, if you were to see the CD itself alone you may not relate it to the rest of the digipak because it is only one colour with minimal text on it. To avoid any confusion, we would be likely to include an image on our CD that is relative to the song we have chosen to use and henceforth the theme of the album in it's entirety.
