What are the

conventions of a

DigiPak?

Inside Panels

Outside Panels

Before designing my digipak, I researched the conventions and found out;• There must be a barcode and record label• The artists name is normally bigger than the album

name• It is common to use more than one font • A lot of real artists use close ups or mid shots for

the front cover• The song list goes on the back cover• The number code goes on the spine of the cover • The inside panels have more pictures of the artist• The artists name and album name is on the CD • Synergy must be consistent through the outside

and inside panels

I looked at Nicole Scherzinger’s Digipak for her album ‘killer love’. Nicole follows the conventions for a

DigiPak and inspired me to use a close up shot of Ariella on my front cover.

I also looked at Rihanna’s DigiPak for her album ‘Loud’. Rihanna mostly follows the conventions for a DigiPak; I really like her

use of synergy through the colour red. However, Rihanna also challenges the

conventions as she has her album name in a bigger font than her name.

For my own DigiPak, I followed the conventions;• I used a close up beauty shot of Ariella’s face

on the front cover• ‘Ariella’ is in a bigger font the the album

name • I have used two font styles• I have the number code on the spine of the

cover• I have a barcode, record label and copyright

text on the back cover• A song list• On the inside panels I have more images of

the Ariella• The artists name and album name is on the

CD• Synergy is consistent throughout with the

brick wall and the colour red
