Digipak Conventions

Today I have been researching into digipak conventions, within this i have noticed a wide range of different examples to what different artists have done. There are many recurring conventions such as: 

On the front:

Linkin Park
ACDC
  • Artist name - usually takes prime place somewhere usually in the centre
  • Title - usually takes secondary spot on the front but can have different locations depending on the artist
  • On the front there is usually a sticker advertising bonus tracks or DVD
  • There is usaully some correlation between the front and the back panels on the digipak
      

On the back:

Linkin Park
  • Barcode - on the digipak is usually on the back in the right hand corner
  • Website - for the artist is usually somewhere near the bottom either centre, right or left hand side
  • Copyright information - on the back of the album in a small font
  • Track listings are usually shown on the left hand side. 
  • Bonus DVD and CD details are usually displayed underneath the track listings
  • Record label - displayed at the bottom




On the inside:
ACDC
Beatles
  • Increasingly on the inside we have noticed that social media and QR codes take up some space on the left inside panel. This could include; Facebook, twitter, and Instagram with a QR code to the website. This is especially important to us because Lady Gaga uses this often to interact with her fans online, she also built her career based on her social media following and has a record number of twitter followers who she calls her 'little monsters'
  •  There is usually some correlation between the inside panels

Instagram - Filming!


We thought it would be good to have a shot that didn't just include pictures of Gaga but had a them amongst them. Therefore we thought it fitted to put the Lady Gaga wig on something other than ' Lady Gaga' Our fans loved it and we received roughly 18 likes.

Instagram - Lady Gaga in Elberses' Blockbusters


Elberses' Blockbuster book is highly useful for both our AS work but also now our A2 as we decided to focus on Lady Gaga. Elberse talks about Lady Gagas rise to fame through the work of social media. Which wouldnt not have been available 10 years ago. We thought it would be great to take a photo of this and share it with our own 'little monster' fan base.

We thought it would be cool if we decorated a biscuit for Lady Gaga trying to get into the festive spirit! It seemed to work as Gaga fans loved it as we got 22 likes! it was definitely worth getting cold outside for a day!
