Completed Digipak

My digipak is made from the traditional material of classic CD packaging designs, folding card. I constructed this digipak using recycled card and printed glossy paper to give a professional and sleek feel, whilst not being overly picky with the conciseness of the cutting work on the cover, as I felt it added to the rustic and raw feel of the album itself, and accurately portrays how the band would want to be presented. 

It is a regular six panel digipak with two edges for folding, with two spines separating the thirds. I created a lyric booklet to go inside the cover and create an interactive device. I chose not to put the entire lyrics on the page as it would have

distracted from the artwork behind the text, and may have looked messy. I think simply putting the choruses on the pages adds a nice minimalist feel and portrays the messages of the songs well. 

Lyric booklets are a generic convention of digipaks, and while it was not a requirement in the context of this assessment, I felt it was an important feature and provided the opportunity to create my interactive album cover in a creative manner. 

The colour scheme of the digipak is mostly purple, blue and pink to compliment the black card sleeves without appearing too harsh or connoting anything sinister or dangerous. 

 An image of the talent standing in front of the yellow 'button moon' projection is where the CD would be placed. I thought this was an interesting design as obviously they are both circular images, and would thus compliment each other well. A common feature of digipaks is to have circular designs behind the disc compartment.
