Here is mine and my groups Digipak draft 3 in a CD case. Overall I am really happy with how this turned out and I think it conveys our genre of ‘pop’ well. Key conventions such as certain colour, images , font style, lighting, props etc play a big role in helping to convey a particular genre. It is important to create a specific representation for a genre in order to attract the correct target audience and so it is clear what kind of music will be on the album. We achieved and conveyed the genre of pop successfully through our digipak by including a script style font, generic pop colours and used the correct MES to match our genre to give this overall elegant, confident and mysterious feel. This is also important for branding and to follow these key elements throughout products.
To check if our genre is portrayed through our digipak to a wider audience we created a quick survey with the names of some different genres of music down the side including our own genre. We then went around the sixth from centre and showed people our digipak whilst they placed a tally mark next to one of the genres on the piece of paper they thought ours was. The results showed that the majority of people chose the correct genre so we were successful with our digipak and used key conventions to portray this.
