After looking through many digipaks certain conventions have become clear:
vThe image on the front of the album either links to the title of the album, has an image of the artist on or portrays the artists values.
 |
The Black Keys front cover links to the name of the album with ‘el camino’ meaning ‘the road’ in spanish and shows a car (which is also an El Camino car) on a road in what seems to be a deserted area. The brown colour scheme is kept throughout the digipak.
The Sex Pistols are a key example of an artist representing their values. This was created in the punk era and the sex pistols stood for going against the norm and rebelling. Swearing was a form of rebellion the title also connotates all other music is ‘bollocks’ compared to theirs. The typography of the tracklisting is like a ransom note connotating mainstream music has been taken hostage by this punk band.
