Reviewing Students Digipaks

I have found some real gems:



1.
NME - An Unfortunate Event

 This group is a girl group called NME. They've chosen to go with the brightest most contrasting colours that hurt the eyes, which pretty much take any kind of focus away from the girls themselves, which is a shame because they look super sassy.

The font looks like Times New Roman and doesn't really work as it's quite boring compared to the colours and girls, so that's odd.
They chose to go with another different font for the album name, and it looks like the logo from the book series 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' so they would probably get done for copyright.



Overall: Sassy, serious, slightly painful to the eye 

The inside of the CD keeps up with the hazardous colours and we have a split colour line that, instead of going through the centre, goes diagonally across which is strange and I don't think it works. On the left is a photo which is placed in the middle so they are floating (why).
The band name is floating in the corners, and they chose a new font for the CD (why)

Overall: Fun, floating, fantastically messy


The advert keeps up with the album colours of stripes and the old random font, along with the copyright album name.
They chose the floating picture but realised that it would probably look better on the floor (congratz girls). 
Above them are the logos of the shops and sites the album is available on. They chose reasonable shops like iTunes, Amazon and HMV so kudos for that.
On the side they have the album cover which is like overload green and pink stripes resulting in me feeling slightly dizzy.
They added another new font  for a review which looks quite lonely from MTV, but they included a review which is good.
Finally there seems to be a stretched picture of the BBM scanner thing, the Twitter icon & Facebook icon so we can only assume they mean for the general public to search them, (adventurous girls)
Finally we have a URL for a website. not sure what to say.

Overall: Bright, bubbly, believable?,  bye




2.
Jordane McDonalds - Saturday Night



I don't think these guys tried at all. The front has a blurry image of two girls posing in a mirror (why) and the text almost over the face. The text looks like they found it off the photoshop list, not necessarily a bad thing but you know, doesn't look believable.
The left, well they've gone on paint (why even bother), so I'm gonna leave it there.
Overall: No, Not quite, never again

3.

Aaliyah D'Silva - Sincere



The front cover is very simple and there seems to be a pattern over the top. That's ok but I don't see that a lot in real CD's so I'm not sure that was the best idea. I do think the picture is good, she seems welcoming
The font is ok. The white looks good against the black but the font just doesn't look realistic (so sorry)
The back is pretty good. the photo has a strange effect which I'm not keen on as it doesn't look realistic.
                                                                                                         Overall: Smile, sincere, special



Ahh we are inside and she is still smiling. This makes the album have a very happy vibe. I like the monochrome theme, the 'thank yous' is quite strange, I don't think i've seen that before so congratz for making your album happy and unique!


Overall: Good, great godly, good-bye
