DIGIPAK initial research task

You will need to add details of more specifically genre-related examples (for all 3 texts you initially research then summarize the general format conventions THEN the (sub-)genre specific conventions), but this task has worked very well in the past to get a flying start on research into the general conventions of the media format of 'digipaks', one of the two ancillary (ie, supporting) texts you produce as part of an integrated package.
Time is limited on this task, so you need to be swift!

1. Set up a new Word doc in landscape layout, not the default portrait, along the lines of the example I've embedded below.
2. Pick one of the commercial examples provided (Spice Girls, Britney, Ignacio, + a dummy from a digipak designer/manufacturer). Comprehensively note the features of this. Once done, share notes among the three so that you've already got 3 examples. If you can add notes on at least two more general examples, that will enable you to summarize the main codes + conventions. You must look at the small details (logos, text incl. copyright blurbs, etc) too..
3. Now look at the past examples provided + note any good ideas you see.
4. Now explore the MusiVidz blog for past posts related to digipaks and see what further info you can find, for example on examples of digipak packages.
5. Reflect your learning so far in a post titled DIGIPAK initial research, starting it with the digipak task as described by the exam board (in bold + diff colour + applying quote tool), with the 3-part basic markscheme [UofT, UofE, EAA] + more detailed assessment criteria below this.
