This is the digipak for "I might be wrong (Live recordings)" by Radiohead
The front cover of the album is very unassuming, using dull colors and having the name of the album and name written in a very fine print on the side of the album, modestly. This may be because Radiohead are a popular band, and people seeking out this album will already know what they are looking for. Also featured on the cover is the Radiohead icon/logo, a crying little devilish creature. This may help fans spot the album as it grabs the attention before the album name or band name do.
This is the album from the back, folded out. Traditionally, the track listing features on the back of the digipak, but not in this case, when the words on the back aren't the track names (I am not sure what they mean, possibly lyrics?). This is challenging conventions, and is a brave thing for Radiohead to do - however their musical reputation for being adventurous doesn't make little things like this so surprising.
This picture shows the inside of the album, folded out. It is again very minimalistic, and continues with the house colors and themes displayed around the album - dull colors, and artwork that seems like a old (or fantasy) city. The Radiohead mascot/logo/icon appears again very small and hard to see on the central panel here, many times and in changing poses.
This digipak seems to have been made more for old fans than for new fans, and doesn't have a lot on it to catch the eye of new audiences.
