Introductions to The Digipak

A Digipak is often used for CD singles or special editions of albums. They usually consist of a book folding style and contain CD/s and sometimes a leaflet.


But they also follow certain conventions such as:
  • The band name in clear big letters and the album name underneath in a similar or matching font.
  • And the back tends to have a list of songs, the record companies name, the production details a bar code and copyright information.

  • They will also have a continued visual style throughout, with a recurring colour scheme, with a continuous art style.



They appeal to audiences because:
  • They are collectable
  • They provide a nice display
  • They appeal to older audiences who grew up with hard copies of music
  • They contain extra information such as lyrics and production details
So far this is the design for our Digipak:


A picture of the two band members in a studio background and a faded coloured triangle covering them. With the band name at the album name smaller like the examples we researched.


A vinyl with the album and band name on, possibly a picture of the band members behind on each side cutting of one half.


The flutter glitter like in the music video but with the other song names on them and a black background.
