For my evaluation of a past student's digipak I chose to analyse 'The Vixens', a fictitious pop band.



The front cover has the basic album information, including the name of the band and the name of the album. The same information is also present on the spine for ease of locating the album within a music collection, a common convention of digipaks. The back cover has a colourful theme which includes pictures of high heeled shoes, thoroughly emphasising the genre of the band. The back also lists the song names, another common convention. A hand drawn piece of abstract art also expresses the genre of the band, adding a hint of indie and abstract to their image. Finally, it also contains a picture of the band all standing together, a very common convention (especially for girl bands).
