Conventions of Digi packs
There are many conventions that
are included in digipaks, for example, the main image, band name, track lists.
The majority of digipaks are created for special or limited edition disks and
DVDs of gigs/concerts. A digipak includes a CD and a DVD.
All digipak includes the
following information:
- Visual image/key to the production
- Band/artist name - allow audience to identify band/artist
- Album title - on main cover and along the spine
- Track list/What's on the DVD
- Basic background information of the band/artist
- (Occasions reviews from companies e.g. NME, News Of The World etc...)
Front Panel - Main image, usually
of the artist or band or something that is iconic symbolic to them. Name of
artist and album in big font, to catch audiences' attention.
Spine(s) - Names of artist/band
and album and institution.
Back Panel - Usually track list, and printed on it
contrasting colours so it’s eye catching.
Fold in Panel - Often an image of
artist/band, however if it’s a long fold out, the fold in panel would be a
continued from the Front and Back Panel.
Inside Panels – CD maybe even a booklet. Often images of artists
or the band or something symbolising iconic printings in the inside, behind the
CDs. There may also be information about the album and quotes by the artist or band
written inside the digipak.
Colour Scheme - Usually reflects
the mood of album or the genre of the tracks/songs on the disc.
