This document describes the design elements of a digipak for a music album, noting that the front and back covers as well as the interior images use a consistent urban, street art theme with digitally created images, blocky text styles, and spray painted effects to represent the genre of music and create a cohesive design. Key details like the track listings and parental advisory labels are also included. The design aims to portray a dark, rock-inspired vibe throughout the packaging in a way that matches the music.

1. The whole of the digipak is a very thematic. All
of the images used are very similar. They have
similar digitally created images. With this front
cover, it is meant to look very urban and street
to represent the music. The front cover has a
cluster of different instruments in a street art
way which is to show the genre of music. Its on
a soft background to make the image stand out.
Also the title is also very square and looks like
its in a graffiti form. The sprayed on MTV logo
which is bright is show the partnership and also
fit in with the style and theme.
This is the screen on the back. On it is what is
featured on the discs. It has the number of
songs on the CD and also it has the
information about what's on the DVD. It also
states what special features are on there. It
also has the parental advisory sign to signify to
the user that there is most likely bad language
featured on the disc. It also has a list of brands
and companies that were used to support and
produce the digipak. Also the tear look out of
the back maes the text clear but doesn’t take
away the treet feel.
This image is again there to reflect
the genre of music. The blocky text
again suggests that the music is
street. Also with the sprayed on
effect if the letters again represents
the genre of the music. The 3D style
of the title again also suggests this.
Also the kind of dirty brown
background looks like a surface to be
graffiti on also.
The inside images are very similar and are themed the
same as the outside photos. With it being thematic it
keeps similar and simple with no outrageous changes.
Again it has the sprayed on effect that blocky font again.
This is something slightly different
compared to the other images. It
doesn't really feature any of the blocky
text or any at all. It has a similar diagram
to the title screen with the sketched
images of the instruments coming from
the side. There is also images of what
looks like drawn hands again to portray
the street like feel to it.
The CD compartment also has the
graffiti look to it with the spray paint
graffiti to it. Also in the background is
also the graffiti style diagrams of the
images of the musical instruments to
represent they style of music.

2. The front cover for this is also a
representation of the genre of music. By
looking at the image you can see that the
dark background with the purple tint to it
makes it feel like a rock album cover. Also
with the birds all standing on something
and connecting together to make it look
like a wheel, it again gives a dark and stern
feel to it.
The back cover has a very similar
image to to the one on the front
except with this one it has a much
more purple tint to the background
because of the light being produced
by the lit up birds. Again this ads to
the rocky feel having a purple light
on a dark background. On the back
you also have what looks like some
song names which attatch
themselves to different sides of the
shape.
Inside you actually have a list of all of
the songs in this sort of font which is
very square and looks quite like a horror
font which again suits the style and
theme. Again in the background you
have the faint wheel of purple light
again the cover is being thematic all the
way through and looking consistent
throughout.
In the CD case it has the front
cover inside behind the actual CD.
But instead it uses the text to
match the shape of the disc
carving. It has the text going round
the casing to match the circular
shape of the CD and the shape
used inside, again to match the
thematic approach.
