Digipak Analysis

Before we could start designing our own digipak we first had to research the conventions of a digipak. I found an example of a digipak on google and chose to do a detailed anlsysis if this digipak.

Firstly the digipak was an 8-panelled single tray digipak. It included a detailed list of all the songs of that particular artist/ band.
This band has decided to use visual imagery, however not of the band/ artist themselves. They have decided to incorporate the use of abstract imagery which may well be the traditional and reoccurring theme fir them as a band.
Strong imagery and colours have been used to convey the genre and it represents the band particularly well.
The name of the band has been written on the pine of the digipak, so that when owner of the CD stores it away it allows them to find the CD quickly with ease.
There seems to be no reviews from magazines or newspapers however this may be displayed on the CD cover it-self.
Where the tracks have been listed, below there is a small bold section where the bonus tracks and scene section for their extra feature DVD is displayed.
The digipak includes information about the band as well as displaying the lyrics to one of their songs.
The record label is also included within the digipak as well as the person, which designed the digipak.
A barcode has been added at the bottom of the digipak.
Finally the website of band is included at the bottom of the digipak, so that the owner can visit their website.
