Front panel:

A front panel usually consists of a picture of the artist along with their name and the name of the album with the artists name being bigger as that will attract that artists fans.

Examples of this include Taylor Swifts digipaks for Red and Speak Now:

Alternatively Beabadoobe's front pannel for her album does not showcase her or her name making it counter-typical. A reason this might work for her is due to her niche audience that would recognise this artwork being hers without having to see her :

Stickers are also common on front panels to display exclusive content that can only be found on said digipak (shown in powerpoint above).

Back panel:

A back panel will typically show a list of the songs on the album, usually no less than 12. There will also be a copy-write text along with the label that the artist is signed to. A bar code is also common.
