This is my first piece of research for the ancillary task, I have chosen a selection of digipacks and the first is Sex Pistols, Live In Trondheim 21st July 1977. The digipack itself is a quadruple gatefold, the disc fits in a plastic compartment at the end.
Here we can see the front which is the view you will see when its folded out with the cover facing you. On this side the first 3 panels are contain images which link between each panel, as this is a live album these are pictures from the gig displayed in a way to look like its ripped out of a photo album, this goes with their rebellious punk image, the 4th panel is a black plastic area for the disc to fit in place, in other digipacks this
area could be a cardboard flap which the disc slots into.
This view is the opposite from the last, this time it's the back of the packaging, here we see the credits e.g. songwriters on the first panel, the 2nd panel shows the track listing which is also on the disc. In-Between the 2nd and 3rd panel is the spine which is visible when the cd is facing someone side on e.g. while it's store in a rack. The 3rd panel is the cover of the album, the left shows the iconic Sex Pistols logo, the purple section is made to look like it's been ripped and next to it is a picture of frontman Johnny Rotten during the concert and then is white boxes is the title of the album which in this case is the concert. The 4th Panel has a piece of art which is striking and catches the eye, in bold letters it says "LIVE" with a cartoon explosion in the back, this also goes with the punk theme, there is another 3 photos at the bottom of this panel as well which are from the concert.
