Digipak forms and conventions

Conventions of Digipaks:
  • Tracklist with song timings.
  • Bar Code
  • Link to Website
  • Record Label Logos
  • Copyright Information
  • Artist Name, Album Name, Track Name and Identification Number all on the spine of the digipak.
  • Band Names inside 
  • Information about who wrote the songs.
  • A lyric book inside
  • Pictures of the band.

The various formats of digpak are 4 panel, 6 panel and 8 panel.

Photos of Digipaks

This photo shows a digipak album cover. On the cover, there is a large main image that stands out in front of everything.  Pictures of the artist or band are one of the main conventions of digipaks. Also shown on this image are the band name and album name. 



This photo is an image from the inside of a digipak. The design of the digipak is the front of a building shown by the bricks. Once again, a large main image is used. This is usually an image of either the band or the artist.



This photo is from the same digipak as shown above. This shows some of the creators. It shows who it was mastered by, who produced it and who the photography and design is done by. 




This is the back cover of one of the digipaks. This shows the tracklist on the right side of the cover, and the main image that takes up the whole of the back of the digipak. The tracklist is one of the main conventions of digipaks, and on my digipak, I aim to use the tracklist with the song timings. 



This photo shows another front cover of a digipak. This front cover is different to the photos above because it doesn't have a large main image. Instead, it has 2 smaller images at the bottom and top corners.
