Digipack

When Digipacks were first introduced when CD's were invented, they were made of cardboard, however today we used plastic to make them so that they are stronger and more professional.

A digipack is the packaging of a CD,.

it includes the front page of the case; the cover.

which will normally have to artists name on and the name of their single or album.

the inside page of the case.

which may have information about the artist on or a photograph of them.

the actual CD and the space behind it.

This normally features the artists logo or again a photograph of them or what/who their song is about. The same photo or logo is usually used for the CD and the space that it covers, but can be seen when the CD is removed.

The back of the CD case.

Most of the time will feature a photograph again but is sometimes left plain, this is were the artist will include a list of their songs and normally the details of their record label and sometimes also their artists website.

the front and back of a CD case are extremely important, they need to be intriguing and eye catching so that the viewer is drawn to the CD if they have not yet had a chance to heat the music. the style of the CD digipack normally depend on the artist and their genre so I am going to research into some different digipacks.

The digipack below is very plain and simple. it sticks to the same colour theme throughtout and alothough it seems quite boring, it is still eye catching to a certain extent because the colour is so bold.
This is a photograph that i found on the internet, it is obvioulsy made to appeal to a yoing age group but it is very good in the way that the colours are bright and fun and therfore the sort of person that it is for would be expected to be drawn to it.

This is a 4 panel digipack, like the one that we will be producing, it has a front back and two pages inside.

This Digipack follows a similar theme to the one that I have described, this is more of the sort of thing that Jessica and I wish to produce.

the photos are eye catching and the colours are bold, yet correspond the the genre of music therefore it attracts the right people without actually listening to the music.

One interesting thing is that the photographs are all of the same thing and seem to be from the same photo shoot, this is something that we will bear in mind as we start to design our own digipack.

This digipack is a 6 panel digipack, which is not actually what we will be making.

This digipack is from an album by Oasis, this is more of the genre of music we are following.

the colour, style and photos are kept simple, but they are effective, the band is very well know and liked so they do not have to make their digipack stand out quite as much because people will be searching for the CD. the digipack follows a similar style to the one that i mentioned, you can see the songs featured on the CD clearly listed on the back page.
