Conventions of a Digipak

Conventions

Artist's name and title of the album often displayed together at the top.

Central main image - usually artist .

Colour scheme usually reflects mood and content of the album and would be the same throughout.

The spine of the Digipak- usually has the artist name and album title on it.

Institution's logo will be on the front cover or back cover and/or on the album spine.

The back will have the complete track listing on it. Also an image in the background.

The track listing is clear, and usually to the left. Althought they are sometimes centred.

The track listing is also, sometimes, found on the CD itself.

The CD is simplistic and doesn't usually have a picture of the band/artist on it. Just a simple image or colour.

Stickers can sometimes be seen on album covers, and is the case with Digipaks, which are protected by a thin layer of plastic packaging. The sticker would be on this plastic. The stickers usually have album ratings from professional reviewers and/or a short list of singles featured on the album, and any bonus content that would be on it.
