Digipak research - Katy Perry

This album cover is by Katy Perry and is called One of The Boys. The album cover does not fit with the title of the album however I believe Katy has done that for a reason. The title explaining she is one of the boys links with one of the songs she has wrote for the album however the front cover consists of her looking very girly, surrounded by girly objects. The album cover is very interesting because its full of color and catches your eye. Katy has made sure she is focused on the front cover for no doubt many reasons. This was Katy's first major album that went public therefore I believe she would want to be on the cover to make sure she was from then onwards going to recognized. The album has a very pop music feel to it because of all the props and colors and the use of the garden. It all seems too 'nicey nice' to be any other music genre.

This is the back cover of Katy Perry's Album 'One of the boys'. When first looking at it, you don't believe that it could be the other side of the previous image, the front cover. The front cover is made up of a picture set in a scene however this image is much more striking as it is just Katy on her own on plain white background. The use of colours and the outfit she is wearing are the complete opposite to the title 'one of the boys'. This makes the title and the images both really interesting and rather puzzling for her audience. The link you can indentify between the two images displayed on the front covers are that they both include the same colour scheme; the pink and the blue. The barcode here is situated at the top where on many album covers I have looked at, you find it most likely to be situated in the right bottom corner. The font is very 'funky' and stands out. This can be linked with the bright and bold personality of Katy Perry!

The image placed above the back cover of the album is the design placed on the CD. I like the design on this CD as it is very simple and displays the vital information needed; The artist and the title of the song. I believe that using the same colours throughout the digipak; The back, front and the CD design, enables people to recognize which artist each part of the album belongs to. I aim to take inspiration from this Album cover when producing my own CD Digipak as I believe for Katy it is a great success.
