A digipak is a type of packaging for CDs or DVDs, typically made from cardboard with an internal plastic holder for one or more discs. The difference with a digipak to an album cover is that the digipak contains more information and a DVD of their music video. Whereas an album has a set of songs and doesn’t contain a DVD

What does a digipak net look like and how many faces are usual?

4-8 faces are usual for a digipak, here are examples of some…

What do we usually find on the various faces of a digipak?

You would normally find that it contain the lyrics, tour dates, pictures, and information about the artist

Does there need to be a connection between the faces on the digipak?

There does need to be a connection between the faces as it all needs to link together in order for it to be understood by the audience. Yes because as it is my artist’s debut album we need to see his face on the front of the cover to establish who he is as an artist.
