Question 1
The media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real media. The digipak uses a standard 4 panel design like other artists, but develops it by including newspaper-inspired fonts and materials to represent the "Information" track. It challenges conventions by placing the artist name bottom right instead of top left like most, and putting the track list on the right instead of left or center. Images are placed on the right to first identify the artist when read left to right.
