Digipak Analysis: Mcfly - Motion In Ocean

Genre: Pop/Rock Star Image/Star Persona:

The

The digipak contains images of the band together as well as having separate pages for each member individually, I think that this helps people/fans connect to them personally. All of the images show the bands personality as being fun and humorous. There is also a double page of the band topless underwater, this is even more intrusive and allows people to see more of them and connect even more personally to them, it also attracts their target audience which is teenage girls, as stereotypically this is what most teenage girls will have posters of on their bedroom walls.

Showing them wearing clothes underwater shows them as being fun and rebellious, and also portrays them as being normal teenage boys messing around and having fun. The digipak also has a double page of a performance shot of the band, I feel that this is unnecessary as it doesnt really fit in with the underwater theme of the rest of the digipak. Colour: Blue o Water/Ocean/Swimming pool o Cool/Cold/Frozen o Sky o Freshness o Bubbles o Calm/relaxation/solitude/peace Yellow o Light

o Brightness o Cheerful/optimistic o Uplifting o Fun o Clarity o Confidence o Youthful o Lively The colour scheme for the digipak is yellow and blue. The blue is to exaggerate that its underwater which also links to the title of the album Motion in the Ocean as it mentions ocean and also shows pictures of the band underwater. I think that the use of yellow portrays the bands liveliness and cheerfulness and shows their fun-side. Visual Narrative: I think that the digipak links in very well to the title of the album, being called Motion in the Ocean and having an underwater theme to the digipak is very clever and also looks fun and humorous. It is very colourful which creates a cheerful, uplifting atmosphere which also matches the tone of the music on the album. It shows them as being fun and rebellious teenagers which is also reflected in their music. Typography and Composition: The fonts used are consistent, there are just two fonts used in the digipak. One of these is for the name of the band McFly which is a yellow, fishlike font, it looks as though it could be fish in the water which links to the underwater theme again. The other font is quite a simple font, which is bold and also uppercase is used throughout which makes it clearer and more loud which fits in with the feel of the band.
