Codes and Conventions of Digipacks

When designing and producing a digipack it's important to look into existing products to see exactly what it is I should be includeing within my digipack product. Looking at some digipacks I have found the main conventions that are seen in nearly every digipack, these are;

• Images- There are a variety of images used on digipacks, usually the artist/band will have a main image of themselves on the front cover of the digipack or images that they feel relate to their type of music, album name etc.
• Bands/artists name- The bands/artists name is always shown somewhere on the album cover this is so people know whos album they are buying and also promoting the band/artist.
• Bands/artist information, this is usually in the form of a booklet at the front of the the digipack the booklet usually contains song lyrics, images, messages, merchandise and tour information.
