This is one of my favourite digipaks that I have seen, I like the merge of both the abstract shots and the shots of the artist. Within this digipak, the synergy comes from the colour scheme- the use of the black and white, this makes the digipak look timeless and classic- but it also creates a grungy and urban vibe. It also makes the red font on the front and back of the digipak stand out- this makes this font much bolder and vibrant- however, it also reminds me of danger and power- red and black are also a classic and timeless and colour combination.
Within the digipak, I also like the synergy created within the artists- they are all wearing black- which creates a vibe of mystery, as well as making them look cool and trendy. Within the digipak, I also like how home made it looks, the inside uses a technique similar to that done in a mood board- it connects three ripped pieces of paper together, they all contrast but once again are connected by the use of the black and white colour scheme. I also feel that this uses intertextuality- as the red hot chilli peppers used a similar black and white desert landscape as the location of their music video.
Finally, I like the image they have used on the CD cover, although it appears to show no link with the Killers themselves, the shape of the rams head is cleverly used, this is as the shape of its antlers fit round the inside of the CD- it almost makes the CD cover look like a piece of art work- I feel that I would like to play around with this idea in my Digipak.
This digipak has informed my planning and creativity through the use of the muted colour scheme- although it looks classic and edgy- which I like, I don't think that it suits our genre of music. I also like the graphic on the CD, it makes it look unusual and abstract- and more like an illustration or artwork rather than a CD
