Digipak Analysis.

The Digipak for the Demon Day's album, as expected, shows many signs of majestic creativity throughout the Digipak. This essestially is what to come to expect from Damon Albarn, and James Hewlitt. The Album cover seems reasonably basic, it's simply a close up side shot of each member of the animated band, if four seperate white boxes.



Although, it's as you start to unveal the rest of the album when the superiority really begins to shine, the digipak consists of a single cover for every song on the album.



Above, is the cover for Last Living Souls, a track off the album, this is a very eye catching cover, because the band stand out from the replica image behind them. Which gives a very thoughtful meaning to the cover, implying they're the last living souls, and nobody else is around them.

I believe the biggest factor of the Demon Day's digipak, is what I could learn from it, and I've figured out that is the animated effect can work really well, obviously it would be near on impossible for me to do it to the standard of Albarn and Hewlitt, since they are very skilled, and have nothing but the best equipment. Though I do like the effect, and since it's quite rare to see it, I believe it can really help your album stand out from the crowd.
