Evaluation question 1
Our group researched the conventions of music videos in the indie pop genre. We found that common shots included medium close ups of artists looking sad. We replicated this shot. We also replicated the use of a yellow hazed filter to depict flashbacks. However, we challenged conventions by using shots like high angle long shots that were uncommon. We included a love story narrative and blank screen before the song, which follows conventions, but provided logical locations unlike some music videos.

Presentation3valuation question 1 digipak and advert
Our digipak for the song "Dull Boy" by The Growlers uses purple as a key color inspired by the music video. The front cover features a symbolic image also seen in the video. The middle panel continues the black and purple color scheme linked to locations in the video. The back follows conventions from the front with matching colors and font for track names. The advertisement employs indie conventions like an urban setting shown in the video, and replicates the font and layout of the digipak cover to promote the EP.
Digipak analysis
This document analyzes and compares two album covers that are typical of the grime music genre. Both covers feature the artist's name alongside the album title and use dark tones without bright colors. The first cover focuses on the artist in the center of the photo wearing gang attire. The second cover focuses on money in the center and foreground to portray wealth, a common theme in grime music.
Digipak Research
The document discusses Digipaks, a type of packaging for discs that folds out like a book rather than opening like a standard jewel case. Digipaks are made from card rather than hard plastic and hold discs on a transparent plastic tray. They are designed to be cheaper to produce than jewel cases and are commonly used for special edition releases that include multiple discs. Examples of music Digipaks are provided to illustrate their fold-out design and materials. Common conventions for DVD Digipak designs are also outlined, such as featuring the artist prominently on the front cover.
Conventions of digipak and ad
The document discusses conventions for digipak packaging for CDs and provides examples from Rihanna and Will.I.Am album covers. It describes typical elements of the front, back, spine and inside of digipaks such as the artist name, album title, barcode, track list, images and basic backgrounds. For example, the front typically features the artist name, album title and image in eye-catching fonts and colors, while the spine contains this information smaller and the serial code. Inside compartments commonly contain additional images, lyrics or liner notes.
album cover anlysis
The document analyzes and describes several CD album covers. It notes that for The Gorillaz album, the band name is the largest font to identify the artist, and the font style fits their genre. It contains a parental warning for strong language. The album title is the second largest font in a different style. For the Daft Punk album, the front cover only contains the album name, falling under photo manipulation. The back contains a smaller version of the front image and lists of tracks.
Digipak Research
A Digipak is a type of packaging for discs that folds out like a book rather than opening like a standard jewel case. It is made from card rather than hard plastic and holds the disc on a transparent plastic tray. Digipaks are designed to be cheaper to produce than jewel cases and are commonly used for special edition multi-disc releases due to their adaptable design. While Digipak is a registered trademark, the term is now used generically for similar packaging styles produced by other companies. Potential weaknesses include brittle plastic trays and damage-prone card packaging.
Digi pack plan final
This document provides a plan for designing a digipack for an album. It includes placing the artist's name at the top of the cover, a mid-shot of the artist on the back with the track listings, and laying out the CD similarly to a Miley Cyrus album. The design is inspired by other artists' digipacks, especially Miley Cyrus', to keep the design within the pop music genre.
Analysis of Digipak
The document provides an analysis of the album artwork and packaging for The Prodigy's 2009 album "Invaders Must Die". It summarizes that the album artwork uses a black and white aesthetic with bright orange text and elements to stand out. Images throughout the digipak and booklet continue the themes of aggression, violence, and youth rebellion implied by the album title and band's music. The CD and DVD designs contrast with each other despite both using the aggressive orange-accented style.
Digipack
A digipack is a type of CD or DVD packaging that resembles the foldable, book-style packaging used for vinyl records. A typical digipack consists of a gatefold cover and contains the disc inside, along with additional information about the artist and album. Conventions for digipacks include prominent images and text on the front cover to identify the artist and title, track listings on the back, and extra details inside along with a plastic holder for the disc. Digipacks come in various designs and styles and are commonly used to package music in genres like pop and R&B.
Analysis of Digipak
The digipak features a close-up image of the artist, Deejay, showing her makeup, jewelry, and outfit to establish the scene. The bold, capitalized title and artist name help identify the album. A parental advisory sticker indicates the album contains explicit content. Stylistic elements like a crown on the title and mirrored close-up shots of the artist create visual interest and consistency across the packaging. Fonts and backgrounds are also consistent to associate all aspects with the artist. Track listings and copyright information are clearly presented as required for a commercial release.
Question 1 // PART ONE
The document discusses the conventions of digipaks and how the author's media product followed and challenged some of these conventions. Some of the key points made:
- The front cover followed conventions like featuring the artist name and a relevant image, but challenged conventions by including the album title.
- The back cover included the standard track listing and copyright information but challenged conventions by including the album title instead of the artist name.
- Inside, spine, and CD designs kept the consistent color scheme but challenged conventions in some layout choices.
- The poster design followed conventions seen in other posters like including release date and reviews while challenging conventions by not showing the album artwork.

Key elements include a red color theme representing new beginnings, ocean inspiration for the album's theme incorporated through visuals of waves and sea, and close-up photos of the artist's guitar highlighting his musical talents over his image. The digipak design incorporates these themes along with biographical information and lyrics to create a cohesive brand identity centered around the artist's sound and inspiration.
Research on Digipak
A digipak is a paperboard or cardboard album package with plastic trays inside to hold a CD or DVD. Digipaks were among the first alternatives to jewel cases used by major record companies. The document then provides examples of digipaks for various albums, noting common elements like the artist picture on the front cover and lists of songs and barcodes on the back cover. It concludes that after researching digipaks, key elements like the artist picture, list of songs, and similar fonts are common across samples and would be included in the designer's own digipak.
Research on dijipack of music videos
Digipaks are a type of CD or DVD packaging that uses a paperboard outer binding with plastic trays inside to hold the disc. Examples show the front cover typically features the artist's name at the top and their picture, along with the song list, while the back lists the songs and sometimes includes more pictures of the artist and their signature. Common elements of dijipak covers are the artist's picture, album name, and song list, with barcodes also sometimes included, and the author plans to follow this typical style for their own dijipak cover.
Bastille Print Work
This document analyzes the artwork and typography used for various singles and albums by the band Bastille. It notes that all the covers follow a simple and consistent style, with the artist and track title merged into one font. Additionally, it explores potential hidden meanings associated with the triangle symbol used in the Bastille font. While the band's intentions behind this symbol are unknown, fans have speculated it represents a "triangle of meaning." The covers typically feature screenshots or images from associated music videos and depict people with their backs to the camera, both present and absent. Any print work created to promote a new Bastille track would need to maintain consistency with these design elements and concepts.
Digipak Analysis
This document summarizes the design elements and creative decisions behind promotional materials for a new artist's debut album. Key elements include using red and blue as main colors to represent new beginnings and the ocean as inspiration. Photos highlight the artist's talents as a guitarist rather than his image.

Digipak
The document discusses the design choices for a digipak album cover and inserts. For the front cover, the artist took inspiration from Devlin's "Bud sweat & Beers" album cover which features an urban setting and prominently displays the artist name and album title. The back cover uses similar conventions while also including tracklisting, barcode and copyright information. The CD inserts were inspired by family photos of artists in their 30s, but since the artist here was 17, screenshots from a music video were used instead to maintain authenticity.

Evaluation q1
The document provides an analysis of how the media producer's music video for the song "Brand New Day" by Dizzee Rascal uses and develops conventions of the grime music genre. It discusses using similar shot types, editing techniques like color correction and black bars, and mise-en-scene elements common to grime music videos, such as urban locations, costumes and props. Specific examples are given of shots and editing that emulate other grime artists' music videos to remain consistent with genre conventions rather than challenge them. The goal was to create a music video fitting for the song's themes of violence and struggle that felt authentic to the grime genre.
Audience feedback
The document discusses audience feedback from a survey of 20 people who listen to grime music. Most of the listeners were male between ages 18-24. Their favorite artists were Wiley and Dizzee Rascal. This means the music video should be produced primarily for younger males and take stylistic cues from Wiley and Dizzee Rascal's videos. Most listening takes place on online platforms like YouTube and Spotify rather than physical formats.

Grime digipaks
- 1. Grime Digipaks Album Covers and music videos
- 2. Examples of different Album covers
- 3. Analysis of specific Digipaks These 3 examples of Grime Digipaks are by far the easier ones out of the bunch of examples to reproduce for my own digipak. These digipaks simply consist of the main artist (standing by either a wall or in a park so basically very urban setting).Then a title of text with the artists name and the name of the album they are promoting.These convey the conventions of the genre very well and are a common aspect to the music videos as well.
- 4. Bunch of potential Digipak shots we took
- 5. Bunch of potential Digipak shots we took
- 6. A Grime digipak that relates to a music video Both use same dark colour scheme.The lighting is low level.The costume is the same.These all get across the same message about the artist – that he is a man of god who also sins. Stormzy “Gang Signs & Prayer” album cover Screenshot from music video “FirstThings First” on the album
- 7. More analysis on the actual Album cover Artists name then below the album title. The main artist “Stormzy” His friends or “Gang” surrounds Him to portray the gang signs aspect of the album title.The Mese en scene portrays this well As the costumes they are wearing Are typical of what a gang would Wear. This scene replicates the “last supper” scene featuring JesusWhich then portrays his Loyal to God And the message behind the album As well as the gang aspect which also gets covered. This album cover features the typical conventions of a Grime digipak in the sense that the main aspects of the cover are the Artist himself, the artists name and then the name of the album.The difference with this one however is that it dosen’t include an urban background that most Grime digipaks have.
- 8. Another Grime digipak that relates to a music video Jaykae “Toothache” single cover Screenshot from the Jaykae Toothache music video For the cover of the song you can clearly see they took a screenshot from the music video and incorporated it into the cover for the single. Specifically when the artist is doing a gun finger sign which relates to the topics spoken about in the song.
- 9. More analysis on the actual Album cover Artists name then below the album title. The main artist “Jaykae” Jaykae is seen doing a gun finger Sign which relates to the violence Jaykae addresses in the song. Because of the aspect ratio of the music video compared to The ratio for the cover. It Means that you get these Black bars in the cover which Works out quite well with Putting the Artist title and the Parental advisory sign. This album cover features the typical conventions of a Grime digipak in the sense that the main aspects of the cover are the Artist himself, the artists name and then the name of the album.The difference with this one however is that it dosen’t include an urban background that most Grime digipaks have.
