2ND DIGIPAK ANALYSIS

The CD cover below shows Pinks album cover for 'Please Don't Leave Me':

Iconography (Signs)

The main icon and the first thing that you see on the front and the back is the image of the artist Pink, she is displaying a laid back stance, which connotes an easygoing personality. The full body shot on the front creates an isolated and secluded feel. From her dress she appears fashionable and confident within her genre, but the pose suggests that she is not as confident as she seems within this digipak as you can tell from the title, Please Don't Leave Me'.

Colour

The light colours show soft, supple emotions, whereas the dark colours of the dress and text create intense emotion. The artists name 'Pink' is in a different colour to the rest, it is in pink, this grabs the audiences attention and helps them recognise who it is promoting.


Typography (Font)

There is only one type of font on this digipak which is very bold and mainly in black, except for the artists name and the album name, track numbers and website on th back this draws your attention to who it is promoting, it also highlights the key bits of information. With the text being in bold and in CAPITALS it shows confidence, it is also quite spread out which shows a laid back, extrovert style, unlike the pose which is being displayed. The main text (artists name and song title) is also very big compared to the rest of the cover which gives it a confident quality.


Composition

You can see that the main image (the artist Pink) is to the side of the frame on both the front and back cover, this shows that this is a very personal song for her as you can tell from the title 'Please Don't Leave Me'. The text it positioned to the left of the digipak in the available space and the artist to the right, and are both positioned centrally. The artists name is positioned higher than the other text, this provides it with importance.



Pose and expression

The artist is the main element of this digipak and is the first thing that the audience will see. The pose is very unusual with her being crouched down and not looking directly at the camera also the image on the back where she is curled up in the corner of the image shows that she is secluded and alone, you can see from these that she is not directly addressing the audience and asking for attention. The image on the front is very laid back and open bodied and includes confident and assertive connotations. The distancing provides a restrained and impersonal quality, which is also shown from the image on the back cover, although all of the text is positioned around her face, which draws you in to her expression which shows that she is vulnerable and sad and not confident like the front image.


Once again all of the main conventions that you would normally see on the front cover of a digipak are there, an image (usually the artist), name of the artist and name of the album/song that is being promoted.
