• Digipak is a patented style of CD, DVD or BD packaging,

and is a registered trademark of AGI-Shorewood, an

Atlas Holdings LLC company. Digipaks typically consist

of a gatefold (book-style) paperboard or card stock outer

binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding

a CD or DVD attached to the inside.

• Every music genre has its own representation, in different

forms. The most indispensable representation is of the

color scheme and the images used in every music

related product (Magazine, Poster, Website, Digipak,

etc.). The same goes with the digipak. I have shown a

comparison between the digipaks of the bands, Dream

Theater, Nickelback, Entity Paradigm, Avenged

Sevenfold and Pantera in next slides.

• The color scheme of this digipak is purple, blue, black

and red. The main image delineate the title of the

album “When Dream And Day Unite”. The main image

shows that a person is sleeping and dreaming in the

daylight.

guitar.

• The color scheme of this

digipak is red, black and

white. The main image is an

art work but not an original

photo. The cover of the

album depicts a sketch of an

unborn baby. The cover

shows that this album talks

about progress in life as the

literal meaning of Irtiqa is

progress or evolution. I

found it as a totally different

concept.

• The color scheme of this digipak is green, orange,

black, blue and yellow. The main image is an animated

image. A destruction is shown in the photo. The art

work is totally divergent from the other examples.

• Each of the digipak is

different from each other,

while they all belong to the

rock bands. Dream Theater

and Nickelback have used

the main image of a

person, whereas, E.P and

Avenged Sevenfold have

used the art work and

Pantera have used an

image of a snake.
