Conventions of a Hip Hop digipak

On a hip hop digipak, we all expect to see something similar to eachother. These are all conventions of the genre Hip Hop:

Front Cover:
  • Simple colours and backgrounds. Or urban location backgrounds and colours, with the use of black and white. 
  • Usually featuring the artist.
  •  The fonts are usually bold and in capital letters so that they are seen clearly and made dominant.
  • Often a long shot of the artist, but also close ups of the artists face are often shown to represent power.  

  • Back Cover:
  • Sometimes you may see a long shot of the artist. Mostly on Hip Hop back covers of a digipak, it will just be a plain colour that still matches with the back.
  •  A tracklist is almost always shown on the back.
  • A barcode for the product is always included along with any copyright information that it may need.
  • Record company logo

    1. Group all your digipak posts together - and ensure all is done for Wednesday.

      Blog looks good - a few more updates on the editing process and tools you're using would be good.

      Remember to film once or twice more and get it done ASAP as it'll really improve your vid
