Digipak: Initial Digipak idea

As well as getting on with our video we also need to consider the design for the Digipak. This example is the best I could find that illustrates that we need at least 3 sides with pictures and information of the band on. The front cover will obviously be the most important, with the name of the song and band clearly shown. An initial idea includes one picture that spans across all five covers, and this would mean one character on each side, with then one cover left for the actual CD. I have already analysed five other covers as put earlier in my blog, and now I will just have to put this research to good use.



There are lots of different digipak designs that we could use including four sides and six panels, with thumbcut pockets, outer and inner mooncut pockets, and one to four trays. However, I think our group wants to keep things simple as this is our first attempt making a digipak, therefore we will use a six panelled, plain template without pockets. This also sticks with our initial idea of having one continuous picture that stretches around the whole of the digipak.


This is the initial template we will use, with another view to put our design on at: http://www.discfactory.co.uk/packaging/cd-digipaks
