Myth digipak analysis

• When looking at the design of digipaks I found out that there are variations of the layout. This is one I found that doesn't follow the usual design that are used for digipaks. 
• The first thing I noticed was that there wasn't a little booklet used in these ones, all of the text, and information was neatly placed within this or sometimes even put on the back, the only thing that is missing that would have been placed within the booklet is the songs lyrics. 
• I liked that they hadn't used lyrics in this one, as I feel they aren't always needed and honestly seem to just be page fillers. I feel that having the lyrics in a booklet is an old convention and it something that does seem to be dying out. 
• Usually the CD slot in these type of digipaks are placed in the middle section, unless there is two in that case they are placed in the left and right sections, but this one has only one discbut it is still placed in the left section, to me this seems like a strange placement. 
• This digipak has a very dark and dull colour scheme which consists of black, and brown but has colour splashes of a dull orange colour. The colour scheme and the background used in the photos give the impression of the enviroment, character and maybe even music are all grunge and dark. Like the Evanescence digipak, this one does follow the convention of using the same style photos within the digipak and these are usually from the same photoshoot.
• Less materials would be used to create this style digipak meaning it would be cheaper to make, giving the artist and the company more of a profit. Althought it would be cheaper and uses less materials, I don't think it cheapens the look of the digipak and actually makes it looks smarter and professional.

• I really like the layout of this digipak and think it is how I will layout the digipak I create, I think I will place the CD slot in the centre section and have pictures, track listing and other information in the left and right sections. For the cover I haved a leopard print design for the background because it worked and supported the albums name 'Wild' so I think I will continue using the leopard print but maybe try using colour variations to make it look a bit different to the cover. 
• On the cover I also painted a tattoo styled rose and scaned it in to place on the cover, I really liked the mix of having an actual photo, and my art on the cover so think I will maybe try adding some other drawings and paintings in the digipak. I won't be including lyrics in my digipak as I wont be including a booklet and feel that lyrics would be a waste of space and materials as they aren't vital for the digipaks success.
