Digipak Research

Digipaks typically consist of a gatefold paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside. IMPAC Group, Inc. originally owned the Digipak trademark. That company was acquired by MeadWestvaco in 2000 and folded into its AGI Media division. Following this acquisition, the Digipak name and designs were licensed to manufacturers around the world and MeadWestvaco sold AGI Media to Atlas Holdings in 2010.

In this digipak, it gives an urban/ hip-hop kind of vibe to it because of the kind of font that is used and the type of tribal patterns used aswell. Also, notice how one of the back covers (back cover I think) is the same as on the CD itself. The white mask can cause an effect of mystery and that possbily some of the songs that are in the album could contain some personal or dark lyrics that may be offensive or maybe a way to tell the public about his personal problems.                                        

These are the outside and inside of the digipak belonging to the band called "Enter Shikari". Enter Shikari is a band that is from St.Albans in Hertfordshire and the play a genre of music that is a combination of techno, rap and rock music. The inside of the digipak is a very colourful, tranquel and vibrant image of two trees and a field whilst the sun is setting. This image can illustrate the title of the album which is called "A Flash Flood Of Colour", this can relate to the imagery and diversity of the inside album cover. The triangle that is seen on the inside cover is also found on over covers of the digipak however, the triangle changes colour which again can relate to the album name and the other changes in colour througout the album.

The outside of the digipak consists of what "Enter Shikari Are:" this includes what instruments they play and who plays them, so this gives info on the band itself. It also includes "Gang Vocals" who are other people/artists outside of Enter Shikari. Again the triangle appears but in a different colour (blue) as it could contrast with the purple background. This cover of the digipak also includes legal rights and copyright protection logos and also says the types of management which has participated in making this album.
