Digipak Analysis

In class today we were given Digipaks to analyse. We were expected to pick apart the digipak and explain why certain features may have been included. My group and I were given the Kaiser Cheif - Employment album. I found this digipak very fascinating as it was set out like a board game. There were lots of interesting features as there was actually a board game included in the pack. I found the concept of a board game unusual for the rock genre. However I saw it as a way for the artists' to challenge conventions of their genre.
