Analysis past student work on digipaks

Above is the digipak made by A2 media students last year. Surfing through the archive, I saw lots of digipaks, but I chose to analyse this for particular reasons.

Strenghts
The first feature of this digipak that striked my attention is the picture. It has such a strong visual effects and outrightly captures the audience. I believe that this picture (and the digipak) helps the artist to fulfil his aim of introducing himself to his audience and attract fans.
Another good thing about this digipak is the choice of font. It is quite "shocking". It is conventional in that the artist's name is in bolder fonts than the album title. The font used to list the songs is not bad as well.
Furthermore, the digipak has all the right amout information that a conventional digipak would have; the barcode, record label logo, copyright, Panels information e.t.c.
The picture on the back works well also because it is faded and makes the list of songs visible.
Weaknesses
The font in the list of songs is not consistent maybe this was intentional but i don't like it because it will make more sense and look better if the font is consistent.
