1. Jack Johnson In Between Dreams Digipak This digipak uses a
yellow background with a designThe artist's name is at the top
right corner in black, this text is with a tree in black to
contrast. This use of contrast is very the largest on the page and
is the first thing you read when you eye-catching and makes people
more likely to stop and look see this digipak. The album name is in
white, which is difficult at it in a shop... Also, the yellow
background helps conveyto read on a white background, this could be
to make you stop the easy listening nature of the album with its
mellow colourand concentrate on the CD to find out more about
it...The names of all the tracks on the CD are listed on the back
cover of the digipak, this is seen in almost all examples of
digipaks... The design used on the front cover includes a
silhouette of the artist with his guitar, this shows that his music
is more important than his image and is a popular convention of the
acoustic easy listening genre and can also be seen on the cover of
his album 'On And On'.This contrastswith what youwould expectto

sticker on the cover gives the owner abe most likely to find an
airbrushedfeeling of exclusivity as it is more of a collectors item

left indicating of the bonus tracks makes thismore important to
artists in that genre CD appeal to the loyal fans of the artist and
gives a morepersonal connection with the music than an internet
download

alsoneutral, again reflecting the genre and tone of themusic... The
inside of the album is not busy and cluttered thanks to the pull
out booklet kept in the sleeve on the left hand side. This includes
lyrics to all the songs and the fact that it is in a booklet
instead of printed on the inside of the digipak again helps to show
the easy-listening element of the music. The image used on the left
is of the artist holding his guitar in front of him, with part of
his face covered... This again shows the importance of the artist's
music over his image as he is pretty much putting his music before
himself...This image of the artist is used for intertextuality as

and images that refer to the poster for the In Between Dreams tour
