This document summarizes research on the design of digipak album covers. It finds that front covers typically feature the artist in the center, with the artist's name in a different font than the album title. Female artists are often depicted in a voyeuristic manner up close or in provocative poses. The back covers continue colors and fonts from the front for continuity, include song lists, and sometimes frame the artist to allow more space. Inside covers may include close-up photos of the artist and posters, along with messages from artists to their fans.
