Conventions of Digipak's/CD front covers

The conventions of a typical CD front cover consists of:

- The name of the band/artist - on the cover for my digipak I have chosen to do the artists name 'Michael Davies' in a larger font than the other writing but in a white bold font.
- The name of the song/ablum name - I have chosen to have the album name 'Number ones' by Michael Jackson in a slightly smaller but red font which allows it to stand out.
- An image - for my front cover I have chosen to not have an image of the actually artist but of a instrument used during the performance.

The conventions of the back of a CD:

- Name of album - I have put the name of the album in the same font and colour as it is on the front cover on the back.
- List of song on the album - The list of songs has to stand out to the audience when they are looking at the back of the cover, but they will not be the same size as the name of the album.
- Logo for the record company - I have chosen to use sony music as that is the one that the album i have chosen to use was orginally made with.
-Barcode.
