The document discusses ideas for the layout and design of a music album digipak. For the front cover, the artist will make a heart shape with their hands around one eye. The inside left cover will feature a close-up photo of the artist wearing an animal mask to incorporate elements of the indie and pop genres. The CD design will use an ink blot of various colors to break convention. The back cover will show the artist lying on a heart-shaped cushion with the track list to the side.
The front cover features a male model in designer clothes to portray wealth and dominance, aligned with conventions of hip hop magazines. The full-frame shot reinforces the model's power through eye contact. The title "FRESH" and graffiti font also represent hip hop conventions. A faded car in the background symbolizes wealth.
