On this digipak, the Script is only used on one of the images, which is the box of the CD- this is probably so that the general public will recognise the CD as their's and not just their target audience. The images featured are quite reserved and basic while giving a sense of it being personal due to the people holding hands. It could be viewed that the use of darker colours is making it more private and intimate, something fans of the band would want to it feels like they connect with them when listening to the album. The fact that the owners of the hands aren't shown could also be viewed as making it accessible to everyone while keeping a sense of intimacy, as they could be anybody's hands.
The CD, both front and back, gives a sense of unity to everyone and this is reflected in the title- 'Science and Faith'. The fact two drastically different things are coming together while two hands are touching & holding eachother reflects this message well, as it's two differing things coming together.
The typography used it the Script's logo, title of the album and track-listing. All in a black font to stand out against the light-brown faded background they're on, they are much smaller than what a band would presumably put on. This could be so the main focus in the image of the hand, which would make the viewer curious as to what type of music would be on and to potentially find out more information about the CD and band. The box, however, has white font that is much larger than the one on the case; this may be to make up for the lack of advertisement of the band on the actual album, making it extremely clear who's CD it is.
The box on the digipak features an image of the band in a field, all looking off to the sides, presumably searching for something. This compliments the album well, as the audience my see that and wonder what they're looking for, then see the two hands holding and realise that the message is maybe for somebody else, for unity, and for intimacy. The album does this well, as it does not sexualise the band in any way, yet makes them desirable by playing on the audience's emotions.
The CD itself appears to have an atom on it, which could represent unity and life, too. The colour scheme seems to be reversed, with the majority of it being dark colours with a tiny bit of light because of the atom. I feel this is interesting and is something I might be interesting in doing.
