Released on August 19th 2016. The album was released by Spinefarm Records who have released albums for bands such as Children of Bodom, Nightwish and Airborune.
Wording - the wording on this digipak includes the bands name "Black Foxxes" at the top of the front cover of the digipak. On the back we can see in a smaller font lists of songs on the album and some information on the producer and websites.
Font - the font style for the bands title is all in lowercase and one word. It is also inside a rectangle. This does draw attention to the name of the band.
Choice of images - the front cover includes a picture of a boy with his hand on his face looking quite unrested. On his hand we can see the name of the album "I'm not well" which fits well with how the boy looks in the picture. On the other side of the digipak we can see the same concept however in a female form with a girl posing the exact same way.
Design/layout - the design of this digipak is quite basic as there is not a complex design to the style on each side of the digipak. This does help draw attention to it given that it is quite simplistic and this is a characteristic of a lot of grunge/indie rock style bands.
Nirvana - Nevermind digipak
This album was released September 24th 1991 by the grunge rock band Nirvana. The album was produced by Butch Vig and features Dave Grohl playing drums. The album has been ranked as one of the greatest albums of all time by publications such as Time and Rolling Stone.
Colour - the colours used in this digipak are quite bright and colourful which helps the album stand out to others. The blue front cover and white insides make it quite striking. Also, the design of the baby in the swimming pool trying to catch a dollar bill. On the disc we can see a blue design agains the silver CD which also makes the disc stand out in the case.
Wording - the wording on the album includes the band logo and album title on the front cover of the digipak. On the back of the digipak it includes the track list of all the songs on the record and some text on who the album was produced by. The CD has the band logo and the album name on.
Font - The font style of the band logo is quite simplistic and looks more like a font popular in the 50s/60s. Also the "nevermind" logo looks quite floaty as though it is underwater which fits well with the album cover.
Choice of images - the images used on this digipak are quite simplistic but very effective and have made this album a classic. The baby in the pool floating towards a dollar bill which acts as "bait" is a very interesting concept and also draws attention to the album.
Design/layout - The overall design of the digipak is quite basic but effective as it is eye catching with the blue and white colour scheme.
Soundgarden - Superunknown digipak
Released by the American rock band Soundgarden on March 8 1994. Produced by Michael Beinhorn and Soundgarden. It debuted at number 1 on the billboard 200. Selling 310,000 copies in its first week of release.
Colour - there is a mix of colours used in this digipak. There are dark tones such as black on the front cover and a red design on the image. Also, white band logo to stand out against the black and grey track list which goes well with the black background. The black disc is made to represent a vinyl with a red label. This makes the album seem vintage and like it is analogue and not from a digital age.
Wording - the wording on this digipak includes the band logo which is at the top of the front cover. On the side of the record we can see the band name and album name. On the back of the album we can see the track listing and some information on producers/mixers.
Font - the font style of this album isn't trying to stand out hugely. However, the band name at the top of the front cover is very clear and easy to read and also leaves some space in-between the letters so the name stands out.
Choice of images - The images used in the digipak are quite interesting but strange as I am not sure what they are supposed to be or represent. The image on the front cover appears to be an edited photograph of the band members posing. The image is hard to see which fits well with the title of this album "superunknown". Also, there is an image on the back of the front cover insert of the band
Design/layout - the overall design and layout of this digipak is quite minimal as there is nothing fancy going on colour wise or font wise. Each side has a black background which helps what is on there to stand out so people can see what it is.
