Conventions of a Digipack and a Website

Digipacks these days tend to released as several different versions. There is the standard plastic case release, but more bands are releasing special edition cd’s. The CD’s are commonly released in cases that are made out of card because it is cheap and more aesthetically pleasing.

The examples below are all special edition releases that are made out of cardboard.

The standard cd release comes normally comes with a cd in a case with the booklet which includes pictures and lyrics and words of thanks from the band.

 The first conventional website is from US Rock band ‘All Time Low’. The band is very conventional and laid out in a very basic and easy to navigate manner. The links at the top of the web page there are the conventional links (eg news, music store etc etc) and the homepage is filled with the latest news of the band.

The second conventional page is a very basic webpage and the soul purpose of this website is to advertise the upcoming album. A lot of bands do this because they can have updates on social networking sites and use their website purely for advertisement.
