This has the record company in their recognised font or logo, a code linking to the record company, the band or artist's name and the name of the album. Due to this being in a small area, the font is usually kept simple in order to be easily read.

The colour scheme matches the rest of the cover with a plain background or a washed out image. It can include posters, photo shoot pictures, 'behind the scenes' information﻿ about the band (optional) and a lyric book which is also optional. It includes information and notes from the band members and a lot of the time, there are 'thanks' and credits from the band.

The back cover can have the artist's name again with the name of the album. The names of the songs then follow and can sometimes include the length of the song. The barcode is usually set in a bottom corner so that it is out of the way and so less distracting from the album's artwork. Information such as the record company/producers, copyright owner and year, album art designer and photographer and websites are also usually put at the bottom of the back cover in smaller text. The theme of the back cover continues the theme of front cover. It can be a solid colour that matches the colour scheme, another image of the artist or something that matches the lyrics of one of the songs.

The front cover appeals to the audience to ensure that it is successful in being bought and in making money. It needs to appeal to the target audience in that is suits the age group whom are more likely to buy the album. It needs to include the artist or band's name and the name of the album. It also needs an eye catching image as it is key in creating the artist's star image so the mise-en-scene needs to relate to their ideology through the use of lighting, colours, makeup, setting and props. The colours should also suit the genre of music. For example, bright colours for a pop album and sepia or vintage colours for a older style of music. This image can also have a hidden meaning or relate to one of the song's lyrics. The colour scheme needs to remain simplistic. The font also needs to stay consistent throughout and suit the genre. For example, a rock album would have bold and jagged font. Another key thing is how the artist is posed in the image. On Rihanna's front cover of her album 'LOUD', her face covers the whole thing. The colour scheme is bright in and mainly red. At the time, Rihanna's key part to her image was her red hair and now people refer to red hair as "Rihanna-red" and so this is what people associate with her. Her big lashes are also very eye catching to us as an audience and it draws in our attention. Red lips are also seen as a red flag for being in charge and it is scene as daring. This makes us think this of Rihanna that she is daring and willing to take risks. This is very much a 'hollywood look', reminding us of Marilyn Monroe in the 1950's. Gwen Stefani regularly poses the dramatic red lips for a making it her signature look. On Christina Aguilera's album cover for her album'Hurt', she is shown as being attractive and sexy as she sits across a table. She is wearing a low cut and revealing dress that highlights her figure. The warm lighting and the warm colours in gold, cream, red and orange give off a romatic atmousphere. However, on the cover of her album'Lotus', she is wearing make up and she isn't wearing any clothes, clearly showing her figure but the colour scheme is of more cream and pink giving off a more relaxed and suductive feel to the album. Another important feature is to make sure that if the content is inappropriate to young listeners, the parental advisory sticker must be on the front cover.

We need to make sure that we look into the conventions of a digipak for an album as we have found through researching real media artefact's that the theme that runs through the music video also needs to be the same theme on the digipak so that the audience link the two together.
