Researching Ancillary products: Analysis of Digipaks from my Genre

I analysed a digipak classed in the Dubstep Genre,.

The first was Krewella - Get wet
-The animation work on the album cover is very effective due to the dark and vibrant colours being used
-The font on the band name and album name fits in well with the background
- They have stuck to the 'Get wet' theme of the album through making reference to water in the animated work and font.

Research Ancillary Products: My Digipak form Last Summer

Analysing my digipak from last summer I've realised my product was very unprofessional. Recently I've learnt key things i must incorporate in order to have that professional look and avoid an amateur look.

Weaknesses ...

- There are different fonts which looks confusing 

- There is over four colours of font

- The filter on the back cover and front are to different ones
-The font looks similar to handwriting

Strengths ...
-The front cover has a matching scheme 
-The picture of the artist doesn't look stretched out
