Clear visual links are included in this digipak, she was quite brave in her attempt of a 3 panel digipak, the typography is consistent with the genre and physical elements of the design, and reminds me a lot of a previous Green day album entitled "iDos!" in terms of the font style (the bold black strips), which fits in perfectly with the artist and relevant themes from this particular genre.
All her images are relevant to the product (music) and I'm quite interested in the fact that she went against the conventions of usual new-coming artist digipak designs which almost always include the artist themselves featured either just on the cover or throughout,as they are often not established enough in the industry to other objects. But she has successfully used an entirely different approach to the "norm" and it works tremendously, staying consistent in the objects used she still puts the artist forward without having a staged photoshoot. These images could have easily been collected from the internet but what she's done with them afterwards gives her a stronger piece of work than she probably would have had with a photograph of the artist.
I particularly like the backgrounds used with the music notes. The scratches give it a punk-rock like nature, without the black and white objects the middle panel on the 2nd line would come across as abit random but I think it works as she's attempting to break down the boldness of the reds and greens.
