Digipak Research - The Fray "The Fray"

This is The Fray's second album, which is self-titled. Their digipak includes a front and back cover, and also they have a booklet inside of the cover. Within the booklet, there are the lyrics to each of the songs. For each of the songs there is a different image in the background, however the same house style is adopted - the same font and size and graphological positioning of everything. For the front of the booklet (the cover of the CD pack itself), they have used lighting in the shot effectively. This was something that had been used well in their first album (How To Save A Life) and have adapted it from the lightbulb they used then, to these lighting bars which are used to spell out the band name. There is a two in the frame, above the title, which could show that the location of this hot is a station perhaps, which also links to the movement of the people in the shot - the blurred effect of the people who were moving. This shows them to be out of focus and showing them going too passed the lights but not really taking notice. But the number two is also representative that this is the second album.

On the back, it uses the back of the wall that is in the background of the front cover. This graphic match works well with the fact that the front cover is the reverse side of the back cover. Dealing with the lights again, all of the song titles are written in the same lettering type as the word "FRAY" was on the front, only a smaller size in order for it all to fit on the page.
