We have looked at some classic album covers and have also considered what a CD Digipack is.
You now need to move on to completing an analysis of existing 4 panel CD digipacks in order to show awareness of the expected conventions and the ways that codes are 'decoded' by an audience.
This will help you when it comes to planning your own CD digipack for your chosen album.
Take a targeted screenshot of each of the 4 panels of the CD Digipack posted below
Once you have done this, copy each panel at a time and paste these into Powerpoint. You can then add annotations around the image in which you analyse:

Once you have done this, copy each panel at a time and paste these into Powerpoint. You can then add annotations around the image in which you analyse:
- the way in which the conventions of album artwork have been used / developed / challenged
- the messages that are communicated by the codes such as image, font, positioning, colour, etc.
On completion of this close analysis, take another targeted screenshot of each panel and your annotations and post these to the CD Digipack page of your blog with the same title as this post.
This MUST be accompanied by a description of the task and an explanation or analysis of HOW completing this task may help you to produce a more realistic media product yourself.
Repeat the task for the following number of CDs by artist(s) from the same genre as your chosen artist.
- Minimal : 1 other CD
- Basic : 2 other CDs
- Good : 3 other CDs
- Excellent : 4 other CDs
