Digipak review


Chasing Yesterday - Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds second album was released as a digipack from Sour ash Records Ltd in 2015 and features the conventional codes of a digipack.

Front
The front of the album is a mid shot of the artist and has the album artists name in the background. The front cover is plain with Noel in the spotlight, which shows that although he is at the centre of attention he has calmed down due to age.

Middle
When the digipak is opened and we see the gate fold image, we can see two different pictures of the same man, who is not identified on the album and who we assume has something to do with the producing of the album or the record company, looking at the camera. This could be there to suggest that the album is personal as the shot of the man is a close up.

Back
The back of the digipak follows the conventions of most digipaks, by labelling the order of the songs and displaying the artists website, record company, bar code and authorisation of the album. The background, a brick wall, is the same as the background of the front cover and doesn't change at the spine of the digipak, which shows continuity.

Book
The book of this album contains the lyrics of the songs, as well as the people who were involved in the making of the album. In the background of the page the lyrics are are on, we can see the colourful album artwork, which reflect the mood of their respective song.

CD
The CD itself has a different background to the front cover of the album, however it does again state th title of the album as well the record company.
