The first digipak I'll be looking at is Guy Sebastian's Madness album.
Whats apparent with this digipak is the dark theme to the album. Also a convention is that the artist is featured as the main subject. However we don't see his face since he has his back to us and his arms are up. I'm interpreting his body language as him feeling overwhelmed or generally poor. However this ties into the albums name, Madness. The font is for the word madness is also made to look slightly chaotic. It looks like as if it's almost vibrating or melting. However Guy Sebastian's name is in neat blocks and red which makes his name stand out. The progression of the directions he is facing almost looks like he's turning around. If you flow it from the front cover, to the inside then the back. Where the disk sits has random splashes of white on the black to continue the madness. The inside booklet consists of photo shoots with colour and a white bright theme, which breaks away from the rest of the CD case. Also it has lyrics along with photos.
The second digipak I'll be looking at is Adele's album 25. Just like in Madness the artist is featured but this time they're close up shots of Adele's face. However the cover doesn't have any text. The theme of this digipak is also dark and in grey scale. However the disc breaks it up and is white with 25 in red to standout. The back of the case has the song names in a font that's simple but not boring. The shot of Adele on the back makes me think that she looks a little bit sad. Maybe thats why there is next to no colour? The inside booklet consists of shots of Adele singing and producing her music. The song lyrics arent included but acknowledgments are.
