Digipack analyses - Two door cinema club

Two door cinema club - 'Tourist History'

'The two door cinema club' released a digipack for their 'Tourist History' album. The first panel of the pack presents their band name in the foreground, and in the background a graphic art piece is layered. The title of the band is in a white font, which consists of bold and thin lettering. The purpose of the different styling of font is to allow the viewer to focus on the image behind the text. The image is of a greyish coloured cat with piercing green eyes, the cat seems to be wearing a golden party hat. The quirky graphic almost mirrors the unexpected, yet relatable lyrics the band deliver, enticing their young audience. The overall colouring of the cover is quite vintage, the dull purple/blue balance of colours ties in with the title of the album 'Tourist History'. Having the bands name in a large font size, will result in higher amount of sells as it stands out clearly.

The inside panel contains a list of the albums tracks, the unique font makes reading the songs rather difficult and therefore encourages the viewer to take a closer look and perhaps investigate into the genre of the band. The greyish background is similar to the albums front panel, havinng a colour coordinated album is often more appealing to the eye. The bluish font could be steretypical to the male gender, not restricting women from listening to their music, but instead higlighting the fact that they're a boy band. 

The albums CD is a traditional CD style , however to partner the indie genre of the band, the designer has designed a smudge print of cat eyes which is printed either side of the positioned hole. The imperfect print suggests that their music has a chilled, almost relaxed vibe. The title of the band is listed below the hole, just above the albums official title. The printing of the eyes depicts a personal sense, a feeling that the songs may be overlooking of the life of another or even reviewing. 

The back panel is once again exactly the same as the front, however this time there is the absence of text. The artist may have decided to use this panel design twice as the front cover prevents the audience from fully appreciating the graphic, as it is overlaid with a bold fancy font .
