DIGIPAK Eg.5: Deadmau5 - For Lack of a Better Name

From this digipak for Deadmau5's 'lack of a better name' we can see many of the conventions commonly found in digipaks of this type. We can see the front cover has a worn cardboard texture with the Deadmau5 mask spray painted onto the front. We see the artists name and the album name on the front as we have on every digipak I've looked at. The text on the front stands out on the card background and the simplicity of this design makes it very effective in my opinion. 

The back cover of this digipak relates to the front as it is in the same style with the same simple font and image of the head. The artist and album title are again featured at the top and on either spine there is the album name however no record labels which is uncommon. The copyright information is in white at the bottom of the back which applies the conventions of digipaks. There is a barcode in the bottom right hand corner which normally feature on digipaks as well as the record label/distributor EMI. Overall I think this design works well however for our own digipak we would need to use more variety of fonts and colours to make the album stand out.
