Digipak - research

Digipak
Research from http://www.mediaheaven.co.uk/digipak.htm

A digipak is a CD or DvD cover/case. Furthermore, digipaks have dimensions 139.5mm x 6mmx 125.5mm for a cd case. It is mostly made from thick card and is shatterproof to allow graphic display. The digipack packaging is also versatile, which you can have up to 8 or more panels. A good digipak increases the value of the product, the reason for this is that the cd-cover can endorse people to buy a cd, very similar to readers buying books based upon the cover.Digipacks were designed to attract the consumer to buying the CD rather than downloading.




For our digipak CD cover this is how we would want our digipak to open, the disk will be in the middle and the band information will be on the pack,there are four sides to the digipak cover on the first side there will be details of the online fan site, images of the band, tours and links, will be souring it.

The front case will be a dark image of our artist, his pose will be looking up into the sky, as so it looks like he is soul searching which is a good reference to his music.

When you open the digipak, it will not be like the one above as all the other surrounding sides will have information and track listings.

Information about who produced the digipak and other mentions will be on the right flap and the booklet will be on the left. The background will be natural locations which we will take using a digital camera.


To create the project i found a website which was suitable for our useage, it contained templates which represented our work. From the website we downloaded the template and used it on adobe photoshop.
