- They provide more versatility than jewel cases by allowing extra content like booklets and artwork.
- The example digipak shown contains a booklet, lyrics sheet, poster, and two CDs - one with the original album and a bonus disc.
- This type of expanded packaging works well for cult artist collectives to provide value and incentives for dedicated fans to purchase physically.
The document discusses design choices for a CD/DVD cover, including emulating the pose of the artist on another album cover to appeal to the target audience, listing songs on the back as is conventional, using bold text for the masthead to catch viewers' eyes, and including a heart on the back cover linking to the artist's songs and music video while giving the cover a gritty, graffiti-like appearance.
The document discusses how the creator's music video for an R&B/Funky House song effectively uses, develops, and challenges conventions of the genre. It sticks closely to conventions like using a simple breakup narrative that audiences can relate to, but also challenges expectations in some ways, like showing the female's emotions more than the male's. Elements like lighting, costumes, editing techniques, and camera angles were chosen specifically to fit genre conventions while advancing the story. The combination of the music video and its promotional poster/DVD cover is also deemed effective because they share matching themes, locations, and symbolic elements to clearly link the pieces together for audiences.

Similar font style and color would be used for the track listing. A continuous brick wall background on the front and back covers was selected to provide visual flow.
The document discusses the use of new media technologies in the planning, research, and evaluation stages of creating a media product. During planning, the group used a digital camera to take photos of potential filming locations and test camera angles. They also used a video camera to practice filming and different camera shots. A computer was used for online research on possible genres, artists, and to design the DVD cover and promotional poster. Excel was used to analyze questionnaire results. YouTube, SlideShare, and Prezi were used to publish research findings. During production, a MacBook Pro was used to edit video footage and create the DVD cover and poster designs.
