The Digi Pak that we looked at was by the 'Arctic Monkeys', the album is called Favorite Worst Nightmare. In the Digi Pak there are no pictures of the band at all.
The front cover of the album has dark and simple colours in black and grey. this is regally used by such Indie/Rock bands as the Arctic Monkeys. The dark colours also reflect the title of the album and the lyrics of the songs in the album. 'Favourite Worst Nightmare' is obviously an unhappy topic and with songs like "If You Were There Beware" and "The Bad Thing" are not happy songs and reflect the mood of the colours used. The picture of the estate, possibly council housing, gives reference back to their roots of childhood growing up in Sheffield, which relates to the genre of most Indie bands coming from working class backgrounds. The rooms that include multi coloured drawings show that the album includes a different twist on the song lyrics. So for instance all the songs are not the genetic Indie genre. For instance 'Fluorescent Adolescent' is more of the pop genre than Arctic Monkeys usually take to, there is no heavy guitarist moments and the beat is more up beat to the other songs on the album.
The traditional inside of a Digi Pak usually includes pictures of the artist performing or of the artist in their videos but these pictures are of everyday things like folks and parts of tea mugs yet again in the dull colours to show of the style of the genre.
