This is the CD digipak for nirvana's greatest hits, the front of the cover simply shows a picture of the band set amongst a black and white backdrop with the name of the band in the bottom corner. The photo of the band on the front is significant , the expression which they show is of anger and despair , which relates to the angst filled lyrics within their music. This again is emphasised with the use of black and white , a simple backdrop again emphasising the bands rejection of theatrics.
The back of the cover has a similar image as to the front , with an black and white image of the band's lead signer Kurt Cobain. The back also includes track listings , various logo's for the record label (bottom) as well as copyright information which is which is written in a very small font and also a bar code. This is a very simple layout which is common with most digipak's , however, the emphasis is on the almost motionless band member which again reflects the mood of the music and audience which they are targeting. Another common convention is the use of the CD case spine which in this case shows the name of the band and the name of the album which is very common occurrence.
Within the inside of the bak , you can see very dark colours are used , again allowing an emphasis of the anger and darkness which are portrayed within the lyrics. Unlike other digpak's , this one is very simple again highlighting the rejection of theatrics and their dislike of the mainstream . The CD within shows the name of the band and again the logo of the band and the record label and within information of the band and also the lyrics of the song.
