Conventions of digipaks & magazines

Digipak:

Cover = main image could either be a photograph or an illustrated image
- in the pop genre particularly with females the main image is usually a picture of the artist
- the artists name is included so that the album can be remembered and associated with the artist
- the album name is included, within the female pop genre it is usually written in a girly bubbly font
- the album name can give an insight to what the songs on the album will be about

Inside = matching colour scheme to rest of digipak
- few or no text

Back = list of song titles usually centred
- barcode in the bottom right hand corner
- record company
- copyright and year
- who owns the copyrighted material
- who the album has been distributed by

Spine = name of band and album in the same simplistic fonts
- code linking to the record company

Magazine:

- main image should follow the same theme of the album cover
- should follow the colour scheme of the digipak
- the largest piece of text on the page should be the name of the artist and the second largest piece of text should be the album title
- 'new album' usually features 
- 'includes' list where most popular tracks on the album are featured along with any other bonus features
- artists website
- possibly social network accounts i.e. Twitter
- name of record label
- where you can buy and download the album
- sometimes tour information
