1975 Digipak

The illuminated square is the most distinctive feature on the cover of the digipak. The band’s name is also illuminated, which also makes the band’s name eye catching and emphasises how important the band is.  The digipak conforms to the conventions, as this should be the feature to most stand out to the audience, the band’s name; therefore this makes the band’s name more visual, recognisable and memorable. This also conforms to the conventions as the logo is featured, not the band as typically on an indie digipak the bands faces are not included. The black cover represents the style of the band; the use of illuminated, white writing is a successful feature as it makes the digipak as a whole stand out. Although this is simple, it summarises the bands image.

The inside of the digipak folds out to reveal two landscape similar images of the band, which are filtered black and white. The theme of black and white is consistent throughout the digipak reflects their cool, laid back personas of whom the members of the band uphold. Their audience will also be able to easily recognise the black and white as it is featured in many on their albums and song covers, as well as music videos.

The block capitals are two lines are iconic as the band uses this style within their social media. This constant theme maintains their style and simple theme of the band. The album also features track listing, record label and production details, which is what is expected to be found in a digipak.

On the sleeve of the digipak, the band name is featured which allows the audience to easily recognise the digipak and the band itself.

This digipak is successful as it follows the conventions of an indie album cover, as the theme is dark colours which are typically found within the genre of indie rock. They also follow the simple conventions of what should be necessary within a digipak such as the band’s name. The band has not featured themselves on the cover which is another convention followed, furthermore they have used a consistent theme and their style to represent the band themselves. This digipak is eye catching and attractive to audiences.
