DigiPak analysis- Nine inch Nails




This is an example of an 8 pane digipak from the band nine inch nails. They have used a various numbers of colours which consist of earthy brown and burnt out whites in contrast to the bright vibrant reds and oranges. The reds and oranges suggest danger, lust or fire which can relate to rock music; The band nine inch nails are infact a rock band.
when you first open the pack you see the second image down which shoes what looks like a wall which has had nails in it and been filled in maybe, this gives the audience an insight into whats the bands about and there genre. The colours suggest rust and age in the maybe you should keep the cd for a while and that it will last becoming a timeless classic; the connotation of rust also suggest steel which nails have been made out of. When you then go to open the cd out again you come to the two CDs. These also show an image of a fossil which then links to the idea of age and time passing. Within this digipak they have used no photographs of the Band or of the subject that there album feature.   

When looking at the typography on the album the first thing you see is the logo situated off centre to the left of the image. 'NIN' the final N is backwards as it it something different and out of the ordinary your eye is automatically drawn to it. It is also surrounded by a dark thick outline. After you see this and notice it off centre you then go to scan the cover to find out the bad and what the albums called if you wernt aware of there logo as it breaks conventions.
