Digipak Analysis- Three

Jack Johnson 4 Panel Digipak- In Between Dreams

This is Jack Johnson's Digipak for his album, In between dreams. The obvious theme throughout this album is the colours black and yellow, so that everything matches well and has a distinct look. This Digipak brings most of the attention to the front cover but still makes each panel attracting for the audience. The images throughout the Digipak show how chilled out the album itself is and gives off a mellow feel to it all, linking to the genre of music.

The Front Cover is a silhouette image, of a tree and supposedly Jack Johnson picking leaves off it, it is noticeable as being Jack Johnson because of the guitar that is included in the silhouette image. The image carries on to the back of the Digipak showing that just a simple image can captivate any audience. There is also a special edition sticker on the front of the Digipak suggesting that audiences can have a certain exclusivity.

This 4 Panel album is a better example of a detailed Digipak as Jack Johnson has made sure that each panel has something on it that would appeal to most audiences, the bright colours of course are the main part of attraction.

On the inside of the Digipak, one side is a simple edited photo of Jack Johnson with his guitar in front of his body. He uses this picture to emphasize the guitar because throughout his whole album the guitar is mainly the source of his music. On the other side is a plastic case containing the most important part of the Digipak is the CD with a print of a leaf silhouette on the card panel which is visible through the plastic case.

Finally the back of the Digipak is similar to most Digipak's except the image on the back seems to be of a trunk of a tree, but its actually a continuing image from the front cover which is a tree with branches and leaves. The back of the Digipak includes a list of all the songs that are on the album, including one live song that has been put in especially, hence the use of the special edition sticker. It also includes the necessary bar codes as well as small images of the record company and information about the copyright details.
