Digipak Deconstruction

Oasis Acoustic

The Acoustic guitar represents the music in the album.

The basic design and lack of colour symbolizes that this album is stripped back to instruments and vocals in an “acoustic” manner.

Nothing fancy about the album, no powerful imagery to attract the audience.

Oasis Digipak

• The Oasis digipak has 6 panels, and the design clearly shows what genre it is. The acoustic guitar on the front shows that it is indie-rock, and the choice of organic colours help to create a indie theme around the digipak. The digipak uses two types of fonts, one for the main text (track listing, CD title, volume number etc.) and a more distinctive font for the band name.

….

• The digipak uses various photos of the guitar from different angles on each panel, and follows all of the digipak conventions. This digipak relates to our genre and audience because of the colour schemes associated with indie, and the guitar that is a well known instrument in indie music.

Track listing on the CD and on the back of the digipak

The colours are in kwirky, which could be representing the front man Liam Gallager.

The CD has no symbolism

All the content on the digipak is simple, I cannot relate to this deisgn since I do not have the support of Oasis so my digipak will have to be complex to be considered exciting
