This digipak, “Veneralia” by “Electric Taurus” features a female form wearing a goat skull. This digipak consists of 3 folds, overall protecting the CD disc from damages. Each side of the folds contains either artwork or typography. The typography is used to show the songs on the CD and also the persons who helped create the CD and the artwork and most importantly, the band. The whole digipak as a whole creates a dark theme involving colours such as browns, blacks and greys, the digipak continues to follow a satanic theme due to the depictions of a goat/ram skull complete with horns, often associated with Satan. The CD inside the digipak also follows the theme of the artwork as it also has a ram/goat skull with many dark colours such as greys and blacks. The CD also contains the name of the band. From the size of the CD cover we can see that the CD booklet can neatly fit into the case, therefore providing a convenience. Overall it provides all the aspects that you would expect a digipak to contain, such as a simple folding system, a place to store a booklet, a protective CD casing and appropriate themes to portray the genre of the music that the band have created.

The colours on the Digipak are shown to represent the stained paper that was commonly seen in olden times. This theme carries on as there is no visible modern day attributes.
