Digipak

Our other ancillary task is the Digipak for this we researched into firstly what a digipak was and how they were presented. We found out that a Digipak is a patented style of compact disk or DVD packaging.

Here are a couple of examples that we found:



We found out that a Digipak can have as many panels as you wish. We Prefered the look of the 6 panel version, like the one above. Also although most digipaks have information booklets we discovered the use of booklets within a digipak is not essential, therefore this is something that we may not include. We will attempt to include the main conventions that we have discovered a Digipak includes, these are:

* Cover Image
* Back Cover Image
* Song Titles
* Bonus Feature
* Colour Scheme
* Other Images

These are therefore all things that our Digipak will include.

We found this net on the internet which tells the exact measurements needed to make the Digipak the correct size


This Will be our guide. After we asked our technology department in school what the best way to make a digipak would be they demonstrated to us a programme called 2D Design, this will allow us to input all the measurements into the computer and then add our Digipak to them. We can then link up to a special machine which creates and prints the project.


We have chosen to use the following image as our cover shot:



We used photoshop to create the pop art effect using the layering tool. We changed the colour scheme to just black and white, we did this as we wanted to keep it quite simple and effective. For the title and artist test we experimented with many different fonts and colours before choosing. The colour of our Digipak will be black with colours only in the text (which we shall use teal for) and in the pictures that we chose to include.
