The album 'Collision Course' is a collaboration album between rapper Jay-Z and punk band Linkin Park and the digipak reflects this through its artwork and theme. The use of graffiti styled prints and stencils shows the street based style of the music. the cover of the digipak (top right) is very busy, showing graffiti of things such as microphones and speakers, which can be seen to be linked with the hip-hop theme of the album represented by JayZ. There is also a punk type look to the cover, with the style of writing and background being very busy and straight edged.
The back of the digipak is of similar background to the cover, but just a stencil so that the songs on the album can easily be read. Aswell as this, there is the barcode and legal advisory on the back. The middle of the digipak shows similar images of graffiti and sharp text, further showing the mash up of the hip-hop/and punk music. the design of the CD is normal and does not challenge or confirm any of the conventions for this type of album.
