Codes and Coventions of digipacks:
Artist's name and title of the album often displayed together at the top and the
band's sometimes appear on their album covers
Central main image - usually the band or a band logo (or something which relates to the album content)
Colour scheme to reflect the mood and content of the album, as well as the band's own iconography - most likely darker colours like red or black for more heavy rock bands for instance.
The spine of the Digipak will have the artist name and album title on it as well as the institution's logo on the front cover or back cover and/or on the album spine
Front cover is conventionally a part of the booklet within the CD case - plastic. However, due to the material used in prodcution, the main image is printed onto the digipack.
Feature CD placed on the right, left or middle panel of the package, with possibly bonus content such as an extra CD or a DVD
The back will have an image on it, also, with the artist or the artist's logo usually serving the space were the image goes. This would be next to the track listing
Digipak's are often made out of cardboard
The track listing is clear, and conventionally found on the back of the package.
The CD is simplistic, possibly only showing the artists or album name.
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 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.
