Regina Spektor: Digipak Analysis

This Digipak of Regina Spektor sells her as a single artist as it only includes one image of herself within the whole digipak.
Because we have used a band for our music project we need to show them as a band, we also want to have a least two images of the band.
You can tell from the font of the writing that appears throughout the digipak that her music is pop/edgy. She sticks with a colour scheme of red, black and white throughout the digipak including the image!
For our Digipak we will stick with our colour scheme which is also red, black and white. We want our font on the digipak to stand out and also represent the genre of music, we will use 'block' writing as this will stand out.
The back of the digipak, where the song names are shown isn't very conventional, but i like how it is different to others, we also like how the name of the songs are also different colours. For the back of our digipak we will stick with the conventions of having a list of the song names, we will probably have the writing in the colour red, but with the bonus track in a different colour.
The front image is just a plain, boring mid shot image of the artist herself, the image does reflect the colour scheme of the digipak, it shows feminine beauty but is a boring image in itself. The use of mise-en-scene with the clothing and makeup that the lead singer wears is effective, as it reflect the quirky side of the album through the use of the hat and the red lips.Our digipak will include a mid shot image of the main singer in the band, we will use different effects on this image to make it eye catching and stand out so that the audience don't look at it and find it boring, as it needs to reflect our song which is up beat and edgy.The use of mise-en-scene all the way through demonstrates the importance of it for this album and this is something that we want to replicate in our own digipak as we feel that it is important. We especially like the red lips used as this could for our alternative rock genre could be a different motif and show seductiveness of the lead singer,
