Indie Artist DigiPak Analysis

This is Mumford & Sons Digipak album Sigh No More. The colours of this Digipak are calm and neutral colours; this reflects the band’s music style of being relaxed, folk and non-commercial music.

The cover is of the band standing in a shop window, they are dressed and standing casually this reflects their laid back style and the presence of instruments show that this is mostly how their music is made, just their voices and instruments, they’re not computerised. The font is traditional and simple but with flair, which again reflects their style of music.

The back cover is a picture of a window, this would be the back of the shop window, this works well because of front of the shop being on the cover. The layout of the back cover is very simplistic; they give the impression that they are a very independent, pure, small town band.

The picture inside is them sitting in a window of the same small shop/unused building. They are all very relaxed and laid back, they are all shown as the same size, so no band member is more focused or important than the other, they are an equal band but also it can show that they are still all individuals with their own talents and contributions to the band.

The left side of the inside of the Digipak features a symbol with a white background. I don’t think this is seen as wasted space but they don’t have to overfill there Digipak, that the songs will sell themselves.

The CD itself is plain and only has a small amount of text and a small symbol, the music sells itself, the band doesn't need to rely on al lot of colour or in your face patterns because they want the focus to be on the music.

Nothing about the design is design is very loud, the band rely on their own talent and what the audience would look for in them, just something simple yet beautiful that reflects their style as a band.
