N-Dubz 'Love Live Life' is a very good example of a digipak that relates to my genre of UK R&B/Grime because , it features all the key conventions of an R&B digipak. Firstly the title of the artists name is in a graffiti font, which automatically suggests that their is an element of grime/rap in the group. The background image of a city with landscape buildings also emphasise the stereotypical conventions of UK rap however, N-Dubz also make this evident in some of their music videos which feature both city landscapes as well as estates and blocks. In terms of mise en scene the gestures of the two male artists suggests that they are showing of their 'bling' (jewellery) which connotes the idea that they are rappers as this is also a stereotype of the conventional rapper. The female singer is in the middle and whilst the males are wearing black shirts she is in a white dress which makes her stand out. Although her body parts are not amplified, the use of a fan may suggest that there is some elements of voyeurism in her hair blowing. The use of editing is very effective within the digipak cover the use of studio lighting and enhanced tones and brightness creates a loud and vibrant cover which is also enhanced through different colour spotlights and is emphasised with a palm tree which creates a relaxed and party vibe. This also connotes the title of the album which is 'Love Live Life'.
