I like that the main focus of Gabrielle's digipak is her and her music due to the centre alignment of it. However, I want to use a left alignment for my album while still ensuring that 'Emily' is the main focus as I feel that this will give it some variation and make sure there is slightly more going on visually. I like the use of a handwritten font and I plan on using the font (Moonflower) that I used in my music video, which also appears handwritten, to create synthetic personalisation. Using the rule of thirds would allow my digipak to be more structured and means that I'm not overcrowding it or taking the focus away from 'Emily'.

I really like the idea for the disc as I think it ties the whole idea of the album together. English people would typically carry an umbrella in the rain all the time and the constant theme of it and the fact that it's bright draws attention to the Britishness of the album. This has inspired me to use the fire theme in my digipak and poster as, much like Gabrielle's music, Emily's music has a theme of personal experiences. The fire is a symbol of Emily's life and the events that she writes about which have inspired her music. In my music video it's a symbol of Heather's life before illness and I'd like to continue this theme.

The disc cleverly utilises the multicoloured umbrella pattern from the front cover. The bright colours contrast the black and white colour scheme for the rest of the album and indicate that the songs have a higher tempo and are mostly based on happier topics. What's more, the colours are aesthetically pleasing and attract the audience's eye. Therefore, the audience is able to recognise the disc straight away (should it be out of the case) and acknowledge that it will make them happy when they buy it.

Moreover, the important information is placed around the edge of the disc and along the bottom on the CD for any audience members who may want to see it.

The back cover is a continuation of the landscape seen in the front cover. It too follows the rule of thirds which structures the page neatly. Again, the text is centred which ensures that the tracklist is the central point of focus. The lighter grey space in the clouds allows the writing to be clearly visible on both panels, making it clearer and quicker for the audience to read. This is something I definitely want to take into my own work to ensure that the album can be picked up and interpreted immediately.

The font that has been chosen for the back cover is the handwritten one used for the album title on the front. Although one would assume that the serif font would be chosen due to it being easier to read, one can identify many reasons for the second font being chosen. It suggests to the audience that each song has been written with purpose and a meaning, much like the album title. Furthermore, the font could be written by Gabrielle herself, making the album much more valuable and persuading the audience to purchase it.

The album spine is plain black with white text. This continues the black and white colour scheme and ensures that if the album is on someone's shelf it is easy to identify. This would be crucial for the artist to ensure that their album is listened to regularly in order to create an identity for themselves and allow people to freely listen. The Parlophone logo features on the spine and at the bottom; this could be something I consider when constructing my own digipak as I will need to put the record label logo somewhere on mine.

Finally, all the important additional information is featured at the bottom of the back cover - this is a typical feature of digipaks.

The front cover to the album  has been constructed in a centre alignment. The Rule of thirds has been applied to structure the appearance of the album. Gabrielle's image is in the centre square, ensuring that she is the focus of attention. This is something that I could apply to my own digipak as I need to ensure the 'Emily' can be identified immediately and that attention is drawn to her. What's more, having little in the background or foreground makes her stand out more. Additionally, she is in colour which juxtaposes the grey background and means that she appears happy and inspiring to the surrounding environment. It could be said that this will encourage people to buy the album as she is made to seem different from her surroundings; the light in the darkness.

Significantly, there are two different types of fonts used on the album front cover. The artist's name is in serif font which usually symbolises a more traditional and classic style. This could represent Gabrielle's attempt at portraying herself as an experience artist, opposing her 'newbie' status. In contrast, the album title is in a sans serif font which looks as though it's been handwritten. This acts as synthetic personalisation (Norman Fairclough) and allows the audience to feel as though the album has been constructed purely for them. Thus, they are encouraged to buy the album as they feel it's directed at them.
