Task 1 - CD DigiPak

Panel 1

Artists Name - Coma 69

The artists name is going with the convention of a CD DigiPak because there will always be the artists name on the front of a CD cover. This makes it easier for their target audience to not only remember their eye catching album cover but the name with it. This is both a symbolic and written codes of the album cover

Main Image

The main image is also going with the convention of a CD digipak because there will always be the main image on the front of an album cover, whether it is in the form of a portrait, text or black and white image. This is to get a message across to the audience about the artist's or bands's unique and interesting style. Different genres would normally have different images, for example a pop act such as Rihanna would have herself on the album cover, but a more alternative act such as Foo Fighter or Coma 69 would have a logo or image which would be putting the message across.

Album Title

Our digiPak goes against the convention of an album cover because there should always be a title on an album cover. This helps the audience know what the album is called but it is also to give the audience a feel of what the artist was thinking whilst creating the album, but also what the album might contain. For example Eminem's new album name, The Eminem Show, is an insight into his current life.

Panel 2

The black background gives a darker sense without stealing attention from written information.    Clear conventions of barcodes and record labels have been displayed. Technical and symbolic conventions have been used on this back cover.
