This digipak, designed by 'The xx', features very soft blue lighting. The light is clearly made from a projector, and the band member's shadow is seen behind them.
The band is classed under the indie genre, which would generally mean that their fan base takes a lot of stock in the artists image, thus it makes sense that the artists should appear on the front cover of the pack.
The projected image looks as if it is a view of the water. This would relate back to the name of the single, as obviously an island is on a body of water.
The simplistic white font could suggest how they are not a band that goes over the top with their music and designs, rather they would stick to producing a very clear and real image, about the CD and the band itself.
Andrew Hone- The journey
This digipak, which has been created by the artist 'andrew Hone', is very simplistic in design.
However, this works very well. It is a simple panorama of an empty field, with some woodlands in the background. This could give the name 'the journey' a deeper meaning perhaps the journey is one of spiritual value.
It is a very natural scene, so therefore it could be that the song is about nature as well.
This cover seems to break CD conventions, as they largely feature images of the artist. This could mean that maybe this artist is not too concerned with his image.
The font can be described as transparent, as we can still see the sky through the writing.
I should definitely keep the fact that the majority of digipaks use images of the artist, or images that relate to the major themes recurring in the film. For this reason, it may be an idea to have an image of the main character, and perhaps the band as well. We could also reference an event in the video.
