Front cover conventions for digipak

Front cover conventions for a digipak
First of all I have started to look at the typical conventions of a front cover of an album cover. This will again help me make mine look as realistic as possible if I know what needs to be included in my own when I am making it. I was looking at this certain front cover of Bruno Mars album cover doo-woops and hooligans. I found that this front cover was very simple however very effective as it challenged conventions. 
  • A main image - The main image is very important for the front cover of the digipak as this is what the audience/buyers first see when it is on the shelves of supermarkets and CD shops. This will represent the artist or band from their photo that has been used for this front cover.
  • Artists name - The artists name is also very important so that the audience/buyers know who's CD they are purchasing. This is needs to be bold and clear on the front cover. 
  • Album name - Is the same as the artists name. It again needs to be bold and clear to the audience/buyers.
  • Logo - A individual logo for the album cover would be needed to make it different from every other album cover that is out
