Usually, when indie bands such as 'The 1975' or 'Bon Iver' release digipaks they tend not to put images of the band and instead have a picture, vibrant colours and sometimes the band's logo. If the digipak does have an image of the band on it or just one band member it tends to be cartoonish or distorted.
Another convention of indie digipaks simplistic, plain bold lettering in all capitals that clearly illustrate the title and the band like Bon Iver's Blood Bank digipak cover. However, some digipaks in the indie genre use peculiar and unusual font types to match the distorted image they use.
The colour schemes of many digipaks vary from band to band, an example of this, are the digipaks below. They are both from the same genre but each cover has a completely different colour scheme. 'The 1975' uses a simplistic and classy black and white theme, whilst 'Bon Iver' had a muted orange colour scheme with a white border and font. However, in contrast to the muted or monochrome colours many indie digipak covers have vibrant colours to match with the themes of their music.
