Conventions of a digipak

After researching many digipaks, I have recognised the conventions in which many of them follow and have. A digipak is a patented style of a CD packaging.
  • They normally have a gatefold like a book so below is the template I used in order to create mine with a front cover, an inside page and a back page.
  • The front and back pages are the main promoters of the CD and are used to draw in the customers where as the inside pages are more subtle compared to outside packaging.
The front page usually tends to have a large eye catching picture on them and this picture usually has some relation to the song or artist which is true because Lucy and Rhyce are the main actors in my music video and are front page of my digipak! The shot used is usually a mid shot and a some what close up. Then the artists name in large font is included with smaller or larger titles for the name of the album sometimes in different fonts and colours too.

The back page usually includes the track list in clear font, the record label, the artist or albums name, a barcode and then some extra information which I have pretty much covered them all on mine.
