The images used on this digipack represent the style of music quite well, the band play industrial music so it doesn't really challenge any conventions of the genre that much. It's quite a simple design with the idea of blood repeated in several of the images, in both picture it's blood and a colourless background, in one the white hands in another the white sheet, and the theme represented by the colour scheme of red on white. The writing is quite pain but slightly Gothic, this represents the image of the band, not over the top or too fancy. The font works well with the colour scheme and images as well as it doesn't distract people from them. The target audience for this band is most likely individualists; people who like to think they are different and think for themselves, I think that this digipack appeals to the audience quite well, it's not too fancy, it generally sticks the the genre conventions, I think this digipack is fairly redundant as the images, name of the band and colour scheme all convey the same message; that the band is unusual and quite weird and gothic.
The Madrips are and experimental rock band so again this picture doesn't really challenge the conventions of the genre as it is similar to other digipacks by similar bands. The image of the dancing girl in the desert gives an impression of unusualness, this goes well with the style of music the band creates. I'd say the target audience for this band are likely to be a slightly older generation, this would appeal to this audience as it's quite a simple design, not too over the top and over crowded. I would say that this digipack is quite entropic because the idea of a girl dancing in a desert isn't a usual image, the images don't really convey the same message as the fonts or colours used either.
Tom Teasley is a solo percussionist; the artwork on this digipack is very unusual and doesn't really follow any genre stereotypes, however the unusualness of the artwork could suggest the unusualness of the music; a solo percussionist is quite unusual. The images a very entropic as they are very unusual and don't really have any link between them. I think the target audience for this music is again an older generation, I think that this may appeal to them as the images are quite artistic and interesting but not too flashy and overly colourful. The font used is quite simple but not too boring and quite visually enticing.
Florence and the Machine are an indie band so the unusual images fit quite well into the stereotypical idea of the indie genre. The writing again fits into the genre well as it is quite simple but not serious or official looking. The background is also stereo-typically indie, the pattern and colour scheme are very common in the indie genre. This advert could be considered as redundant as the image is showing the same thing as the title of the album. This advert is good because it has all the relevant information like the release date, the formats the album is available on and other useful information such as the official band website.
This advert for Green Day's album American Idiot fits fairly well into the genre of music (Rock.) It's simple but with a bold, eye catching image and a message behind the image. The colour scheme is simple but effective and attractive. The target audience for this band is teenagers into rock and alternative music.I think that this advert fits well into that genre as it is bold and making a statement, it's also slightly unusual without being too over the top. There are some flaws with this advert however; it doesn't have any useful information like release date, official web address or formats the album is available in.
