ANCILLARY WORK: approach for research

I have noticed that in the pop genre, it is rare that a Digipak is produced to accompany the debut album of a debut artist. This has made it difficult to look at the true conventions of a first time Digipak as opposed to one of an artist who is already very well known. Therefore I have decided it would be best for me to look at a new artists first album for the front of the Digipak and then look at actual digipaks to understand what to put inside it.
