Digipak Templates

Ways to present our digipak

Idea One

• Features: Two cd panes, one inside pane, middle pane (behind a cd pane), spine, front pane, back pane.

• Pros: Can hold two cd’s, inside pane can hold lyrics/pictures/extra features, extra pane behind the cd can show more pictures. Interesting digipak which fits nicely with our up beat song.

• Cons: Unnecessary extra cd holder. A bit fiddly and might have too much going on in the case.

Idea two

• Features: One cd pane, two inside panes, one middle pane (when it is closed), spine, front pane, back pane.

• Pros: Only one cd pane needed, two panes can hold extras such as lyrics/pictures/bonus material. Extra space that can hold more features for audiences.

• Cons: Too many extra panes. It would be difficult to fill every space.

Idea Three

• Features: One cd pane, two inside panes, one middle pane (behind cd pane), spine, front pane, back pane.

• Pros: Only one cd pane needed, two panes and middle pane can hold extras. Extra space can hold more features for audiences.

• Cons: Too many unnecessary panes. It would be difficult to fill every space. Cd holder is placed awkwardly and should be the main feature of the digipak, not just placed on the side.

Idea Four

• Features: One cd pane, one inside pane, spine, front pane, back pane.

• Pros: Only one cd pane is needed, inside pane can hold extra materials. Simple digipak that is commonly used.

• Cons: Too simple

Idea Five

• Features: Two panes, spine, front pane, back pane

• Pros: Panes can hold bonus material and can be used as a pocket to hold the cd too.

• Cons: Cd not on display and should be the main feature. Too plain and simple.

Inspirations• Will. I. Am seems to typically use ‘Idea Four’.

• Keeping the digipak template simple would allow use to develop interesting artwork and designs for the front cover.

• Following this idea it would also keep the digipak from looking too cluttered.

• The 1920’s era (Great Gatsby) is also all about using the simple and making it look beautiful/exciting/extravagant.

• Following this idea, using a simple digipak and using vivid bold images would attract audiences.
