Introduction To Digipack

Part of the course requires the making of A Digipak. A Digipack is a cardboard package which houses a CD. The design of the package could be a simple sleeve or more complex containing different panels which fold out to reveal information.  Furthermore the course requires the making of a website homepage. The page I will be making will contain a variety of links to other pages but I will not be creating these ‘other pages’. I will need to take into consideration how the page will interact with the user, both visually and dynamically.

Most digipacks are 13.8cm wide and 12.5 cm in length. The most common type of digipack is a four panel pak. There is normally always text. This text will often include the name of the band/artist, the album name, track listing and a price of the digipack. Other features which are not typical to all digipacks include recording information and bonus material. Conventionally, there are pictures of the band/artist on the digipack along with a logo. Digipacks are designed to unfold. The genre is often reflected through the use of colour and imaging.


Typical features of an album cover:
Name of artist/band
Name of album
Back cover with track list
Imagery sometimes with artist others a key theme
