Digipak Analysis (Preliminary)

A Day To Remember - What Seperates Me From You

Digipack Analysis

What seperates me from you, is ADTR (A Day To Remember)'s fourth metalcore album, targeted at heavy metal fans. In terms of first impressions on this particullar digipack, I notice  that a similiar coloue scheme is used throughout all sides of the pack, the cartoon/comic style has been adopted and the images clearly tell a story, representative of the album's title, "What Seperate's Me From You" The band's name is titled across the top middle of the cover, not distracting the attention from the image itself, whilst at the same time making the necessary information clear to the eye (something I think is very important and many bands often do not do, as they try to make eye catching images instead.

Personally the structure of the digipack is very clever, showing four different sections of the 'comic' which explains the album title and what the album is about, it creates a style for the cover whilst fitting with ADTR's previous album designs and genre, with blood and violent images depicted additionally.

Lighting within the cartoonized images, is very good, making certain images stand out for instances the suited man centred on the cover and the man's head on the back cover, whilst letting the background blend, but show noticeable characteristics when looked at.  This works well with the rounded text on the cover, lack of text elsewhere lets the images take the forefront of the cover, telling the story of the album throughout the entire digipack.

For me the way the entire digipack has been structured cohedes extremely well with the images, and clearly has been planned in such a manner. Thus it fulfills everything a digipack is intended to accomplish whilst portraying the musics genre vaguely.
