Gorillaz Digipak
This digipak has 5 panels and is double sided, containing graphic illustrations. Each of the 4 panels fold out from the centre panel which holds the CD. The way the digipak works is very unquie and doesn't comply to common Digipaks. The faces on each panel is doubled on each side with a different expression, this relates to their music being multi genred (which is polysemic and postmodern!). I'm guessing that the album cover, is likely to be on the opposite side of the square holding the disk. I say this, because it is the only flap that would be left over, provided that all of the character flaps are double sided.


The Gorillaz aren’t known for following stereotypical convention, this is evident by the way each character hides their faces behind cartoon representation of themselves, rather than letting everyone become aware of who they all really are. The white background helps the graphic stand out.
