Here is my own independent analysis of ‘American Idiot’ by the band ‘Green Day’. I chose Green Day because they are a rock band who cover a wide variety of conventions within the rock genre. They have a collection of songs that are rather political, whilst also having songs which are more dark and personal.

Reflecting back on this analysis I have learned the technical conventions that all Digipaks must have.

I also learned how Green Day were able to communicate their Star Image and how they used generic conventions to the rock genre to establish a repertoire of elements.
