Deaf Havana Digipak


  • The cover has an image of a young boy playing at the beach with the band members standing in the distance. This relates to the title of the album, 'Old Souls' as it is showing how they have gotten older and more mature in their music style and attitude. 
  • This could also relate to how they all grew up in a seaside town so they would play at the beach when they were younger but now have grown up and returned to where they are from with a different view as they have matured. 
  • This relates to the idea of them targeting an older audience who may have experienced a similar thing to they have. 
  • The colours used contradict the genre stereotypes as they are usually much darker colours throughout the entirety of the digipak whereas this one uses only light colours. By doing this they have gone against the conventions of the genre, however it makes the digipak look a lot more interesting and helps it to stand out against other darker digipaks within the same genre.


  • The track list for the album is on the back of the outside case rather than on the actual digipak. This goes against the conventions of the digipak as the track list is generally on the both the outside case as well as the digipak. 
  • By doing this, the audience can easily see it before buying the digipak which could encourage them to buy it if they see a track they like. It also allows the image of the inside to remain untouched our changed due to the text being not being put onto it. 
  • The barcode and record label information is on the back of the case. By putting it at the bottom of the digipak it means that it does not take away from the final look of the digipak as it is not in the obstructing the image.
