Research: Digipak Research Consolidation

From all of my research on digipaks I have gained a lot of knowledge regarding the conventions of digipaks, specifically indie genre digipaks.  I now know more about the different genres and how they differ in designs. I have mostly decided to stick to conventions of digipaks as a form of marketing, as well as the conventions of my chosen genre (indie/alternative).

The digipak conventions I have decided to follow are:

• A colour scheme throughout the digipak 
• A bright colour scheme 
• Band/artist's name
• Title of the album
• A tracklist
• Album art on the inside cover
• Album art on the CD

The Indie digipak conventions I have decided to stick to are:

• Album art/photography instead of photo of artist
• Simple, minimalist design
• Minimalistic colour scheme
• Complimentary colours
• Colour scheme only consisting of a few colours
• Simplistic line drawings 
• Interesting typography/calligraphy

I will follow these conventions as closely as I can, whilst keeping in mind the conventions of the indie/alternative genre when creating my own digipak.
