Artist Analysis- Jay Z

Shawn Corey Carter, known as Jay Z is an american rapper, businessman and investor. In 2014 his net worth was an estimated $520 million. He is one of the worlds best selling artists of all time having sold more than 100 million records and receiving 21 grammy awards. As an artist Jay z holds the record for most number one albums by a solo artist on the billboard 200 with 13.
Jay Z's inspiration includes artists such as Marvin Gaye and Donny Hathaway.                                  

We have chose to use Jay Z as a source of inspiration being that there from the same location so growing up King J listened to a lot of Jay Z and took inspiration in not only music but persona and dress sense.






Digipak Analysis

Digipak's are designed with multiple sections where it can hold a music cd as well as anything else relevant to the music such as a track list and artwork. Digipaks are often displayed with interesting artwork on the cover relevant to the artist of music, this is down to make it more visually appealing.




The front cover of Eminems-Recovery is a very simplistic image of Eminem walking down a long road with "Recovery" in the top right position. Eminem is placed on the left side of the image, not. centre leaving space on the side for the road and background to show. Replacing the O in Recovery is the logo for the album.

The cover at the bottom right is the alternate front cover. In this image a lot more is going on in comparison such as a building and Eminem watching television within a glass box. This image could mean that Eminem feels trapped and out of touch when it comes to the outside world.

The Digipak is made airy simplistic mostly revolving around the photography as well as the artist being in the image, the imagery uses symbolism relating to the artist in general and his music.
