For our second analysis, we decided to choose Imagine Dragons to give us some more ideas for our own Digipak. Unlike the Fall Out Boy album, this front cover doesn't actually have any images of the band members at all, instead it has artwork which is not only eye-catching but makes whoever looks at it try to understand it's meaning and significance. To be able to go down this route rather than actual band members is a possibility for us if we can think of a representation and meaning we want to present that also links to our album title and bands image. If not we will use a master shot of the band.
The font for Imagine Dragons has their trademark logo as well as the title of the album. By maintaining this, the logo creates a sense of familiarity to those who see it which improves the overall product in terms of professionalism. From this, we would need to establish our band logo by putting it into our Digipak, Poster, Trailer and even our music video.
As for the back of the album, the design is visibly more professional-looking than the previous Digipak as although it may look more basic by what is physically there. However, this displays the tracks very clearly in small but very bright lettering with a + shape behind it. This is a prime example of what a modern album cover of this genre looks like for this genre.
Overall, this Digipak can be useful to us as it has everything which you would expect from a video and follows a number of conventions.
