Analysis of Digipaks

This is the digipak for the album ‘Sigh No More’ by Mumford & Sons. This is a really good example of a digipak because it follows the conventions of a digipak. For example, the theme of the band in the shop window of that building is carried across three panels, by using a picture of a single window and then the band members sitting in some windows. This digipak also has a list of the songs in the album and a sleave for a booklet which probably contains a band biography and the lyrics to the songs.

This is the digipak for the album ‘Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not’ by the Arctic Monkeys. This follows most conventions of a digipak, mainly by using the same theme, of the cigaretts, throughout the pack.  The song names are also shown on the back and the lyrics to the best song is on another panel. 

As you can see, indie rock digipaks usually exhibit the band members stood together or the lead singer, on the front cover. They typically use the same theme across the whole product. Indie rock digipaks are also very simple and quite plain.
