Digipacks were among the first to be used by major record companies other than the jewel cases. (classic clear CD covers)

Conventionally Digipacks contain images all over portraying the trademarks of the artist and represent the theme of the album such as here, oasis released a greatest hits album called 'Time Flies' where the image on the front of the pack is of a huge audience in a field from a festival portraying their successful career and many fans they have.
