Digipak Planning



What is A Digipak?

A Digipak is a patented style of CD (or DVD or BD) packaging. Digipaks typically consist of a gate-fold paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays used to hold the CD. Digipak style packaging is typically used for CD singles or special edition albums. Such packaging is less resistant to abrasion than jewel cases, so it tends to show signs of wear relatively quickly.

What does a digipak include?

Typically, you would expect to find;

• a list of the songs included
• lyric sheets for the songs
• photos of the artist (sometimes signed)
• information about the artist
• tour dates
• a list of personal thanks/messages from the artist
• sometimes an offer for a download from iTunes

Our Digipak

The inside right panel will hold the disc, in a pouch.
The back cover will be a list of songs.
The front cover will show our CD cover design.
The inside left panel will 'about the artist' and a personal letter / personal thanks from the artist.
On the reverse side of the pack there will be song lyrics and photos from videos, gigs, personal etc.

Because of the music genre, we want our digipak front cover to represent individuality. We have had a few ideas as to how we want this to look:

This will be taken personally, and edited to say 'Balance' on the standing sweet so that this matches the name of the song. 

  


This will be taken on a proper scrabble board, but set out exactly like this example.

This is a very basic example of what we want, we plan to use proper alphabet fridge magnets, with more of a variety of colours, as well as capital letters for his initials and the whole of the word 'Balance'.
