Singer/Songwriter Digipaks and front covers

Usually Singer/Songwriter Digipaks and front covers show the artist in a simple fashion doing the thing they love doing, playing there instruments or in their favourite place or just a simple picture of their favourite place, this is why these artists are so different and much more unique when compared to 'Pop' artists.

First up is an album cover of Jason Mraz, its very simple showing lights on him as he performs to what we can only imagine to be a vast audience whilst he sings and plays guitar, and not even a fancy guitar but a simple one. The font is also very simple but effective and suits his style, I think that this album cover is very simple but effective with the use of just black and white and then adding a little bit of colour to catch the audiences eyes, so that they read the 'limited edition' sign.

The second example the album cover of Jack Johnson, which again is very simple as in colours where he mainly uses a greyish blue with a hint of bright red bordering on dark in which he's sitting on a stool dressed completely in black playing his guitar and singing into what looks like a condenser microphone. The font is very fancy in a sense and an unusual one but it suits the simplicity of this particular album cover.

The third example is of Ben Howard's album cover showing what seems to be himself plunging deep into water in which I only assume is in Devon considering that he comes from Devon and once said it was his favourite place in the whole world. This is very powerful because of the different shades of blue and the positioning of the light and his body within the water.

The final example is of Ed Sheeran's album cover, which again is another very simple album cover just showing his face and his orange hair which blends in with the background which is in his hair colour of orange too.

Here is a Jack Johnson digipak which is infact very clever in its yellow background, the front cover shows Jack standing next to a tree in which the back cover continues the pathway and shows another tree forming and towering over the main front tree but then if you open the CD case up you get a yellow CD with a branch of leaves on it, which is very simple but effective again.
