Digipak:A Digipak is the packaging for a cd or dvd, used to assist in the promotion of the album/single/film. Digipaks, for CDs, are used to cover and protect a disk as well as illustrating the band and the music style. Although some bands such as Pink Floyd have broken conventions by using abstract or irrelevant imagery on their album covers and Digipaks. For example: the men on fire; wish you were here, the prism and light spectrum; dark side of the moon.
Bands of the indie genre will often have all the members or arelateable logo on the digipak. For example Oasis definitely maybe has all the band members, the band name and the album name on the front cover. Whereas another band, of the same genre, the Arctic Monkeys album cover for AM was black and white with the bands iconic logo on the front. There were pictures of the band members on the inside covers also in black and white.
Websites:band websites are used to inform fans and followers of the band on the latest news, gig and tour information. Websites are also used to promote the band by advertising new songs, merch and tickets to upcoming events, new release date information is also advertised on websites. Band websites also include many photos of past gigs or key performances
