As seen the front cover the smiths digipak includes a picture of the artist as this is a convention of the rock genre to include the artist on the digipak and in the video as stated by the theorist Gooodwin. As the song 'somebody that i used to know' by Gotye is a alternative rock song it would follow the conventions if in our first draft we include the artist (not the real artist but the singer in the video) in the digipak. Preferably on the front cover.
As it is seen on the back of a different digipak of the smiths the song names are there, this is a common theme which is seen throughout most genres of music. The initial we did not include the song name/s on the back but after seeing many other digipaks by similar artists it is something that may be included in the final product.
Another idea which is seen in the killers digipak which we are wanting to incorporate into our digipak idea is the black and white images. Black and white are common colours which are seen within rock and sub-genres of rock, we would like to add black and white into our digipak but as if the picture has been torn up. The tear linking in with the idea of a torn and broken relationship which is seen in the video and heard through the lyrics of the song.
