Deciding to create a "Digipak":

On completion of my album cover, i have done some research into the difference between a 'digipak' and a CD cover. According to Wikipedia, a digipak contains four or six frames. Essentially offering the audience a lot more in terms of content, rather than a regular Cd cover would. These usually inclde some (or all) of these aspects:

Front
Spine
Back
Membership postcard/flier
Lyric section
Disk impression
Band info section/booklet
Free image/poster

I then went and did some further research into some real media products in shops such as 'HMV' and viewed some of the Level 4 products created by previous students, via 'mrsmithsa2musicvideo.blogspot.com'.

These examples allowed me to get a muc better understanding of what would be expected from a professional quality digipak, and the things i will need to consider whilst planning for the creation of my own.


Here are just a few examples of some professional digpak's:
